let the numbers be x and y
x + y = 1600 ----*
12%x = 20%y
0.12x = 0.2y
y = <u>0</u><u>.</u><u>1</u><u>2</u><u>x</u>
0.2
y = 0.6x
substitute in * eqn
x + 0.6x = 1600
1.6x = 1600
x = 1000
then,
y = 0.6*1000
y = 600
the numbers are 1000 and 600
I think it’s the first one
Answer:
9 pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
28 inches rope cut into 3-inch pieces
There is no matching answer choice, if given numbers are correct then the answer is 9 full pieces
---------
<u>Note:</u>
- The close answer choice is 8
- 28/8 = 3 1/2 or 3.5
- So if cut into 3.5 inch pieces then it is 8 full pieces
- just in case it was typo 3 instead of 3.5
Answer: 33
To maximize the length of the third side, which I'll call x, it needs to be the longest side.
So by the triangle inequality theorem, 19+15>x, meaning the maximum whole number value of x is 33.
