Answer:

  • plane: 530 mi/h
  • wind: 40 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p and w represent the speeds of the plane and the wind. The relation between time, speed, and distance is ...

  speed = distance/time

  p +w = (2565 mi)/(4.5 h) = 570 mi/h

  p -w = (2205 mi)/(4.5 h) = 490 mi/h

Adding these speeds, we get ...

  (p +w) +(p -w) = (570) +(490) mi/h

  2p = 1060 mi/h

  p = 530 mi/h

Then the speed of the wind is ...

  w = 570 mi/h -p = (570 -530) mi/h = 40 mi/h

The plane's speed is 530 mi/h; the wind speed is 40 mi/h.

Maxwell is taking out a loan for $8,750 for 2 years at an APR of 9.75%. What would be the finance charge to the nearest whole do
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula for calculating simple interest

SI = principal × rate × time/100

Given

Principal = $8750

Rate = 9.75%

Time = 2years

Substitute

Interest = 8750×9.75×2/100

Interest = 87.59×19.5

Interest = 1,706.25

Hence the finance charge to the nearest whole dollar is $1706

The admission fee at a fair is $2.00 for children and $4.00 for adults.

On Saturday 2,500 people entered the fair and $7,000.00 were collected.

How many children and how many adults attended? Give your answer, using x for children, y for adults.

Form of: x =, and y =

 

Let K = no. of children

Let A = no. of adults

 

2500 people mean

Kids + Adults

 

K + A = 2500

K = 2500 – A

 

2K + 4A = 7000

K + 2A = 3500

 

(2500 – A) + 2A = 3500

A = 3500 – 2500

(A = 1000, adults)

 

K = 2500 – A

K = 2500 -1000

(K = 1500, Kids)

 

CHECK:

1500*2 = $3000

1000*4 = $4000

<span>(Total = $7000, people.). </span>

<span>
</span>
