Answer:

y = 1/5x

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct variation equation:

y = kx

We have:

x = 25
y = 5

Find the value of k:

5 = 25k
k = 5/25
k = 1/5

The equation is:

y = 1/5x

Maureen earned some money doing odd jobs last summer and put it in a savings account that earns 9% interest compounded quarterly

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Maureen earned $123.19 doing odd jobs

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound interest formula is given by:

$A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

Where A(t) is the amount of money after t years, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per unit year and t is the time in years for which the money is invested or borrowed.

In this question:

Compounded quarterly means that $n = 4$

10 years, so $t = 10$

9% interest, so $r = 0.09$

There is $300.00 in the account, which means that $A = 300$

How much did Maureen earn doing odd jobs?

This is P.

$A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

$300 = P(1 + \frac{0.09}{4})^{4*10}$

$(1.0225)^{40}P = 300$

$P = \frac{300}{(1.0225)^{40}}$

$P = 123.19$

On Chris's birthday in 1992, he was half the age of his brother Joseph. On Chris' birthday in 1998, he was two-thirds the age of

aev [14]

Suppose in 1992 Chris was x years old, his brother was then 2x years old.
6 years later in 1998, Chris is (x+6) years old, his brother is (2x+6),
(x+6)=(2/3)(2x+6)
x+6=(4/3)x+4
(4/3)x-x=6-4
(1/3)x=3
x=6
in 1992, Chris was 6, so in 2018 he will be 6+(2018-1992)=32 years old.
