You can set up a system of equations for this problem. x= number of coach tickets and y = number of first class tickets.

$210x + $1200y = $10,230 (cost of coach ticket plus cost of first class tickets is total budget)

x + y = 11 (number of coach tickets plus number of first class tickets is total number of people)

Solve the second equation for y to get y = 11 - x, then plug that into the first equation and solve for x:

$210x + $1200(11 - x) = $10,230

$210x + $13,200 - $1200x = $10,230

-$990x + $13,200 = $10,230

-$990x = $2,970

x = 3


Sarah bought x = 3 coach tickets. Plug that into the second equation and solve for y:

3 + y = 11

y = 8


Sarah bought y = 8 first class tickets.

B.) Marua will spend 2 hours to read 100 pages of sociology which means she can only read 60 pages of economics.
Therefore, the opportunity cost of reading 100 pages of sociology is forfeiting 40 pages (2 hours) of economics.

Jason’s savings account has a balance of $2179. After 5 years , what will the amount of interest be at 6% compounded quarterly?
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

$755.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine the compound amount first and then subtract the principal from it, to find the amount of interest.

The compound amount formula is A = P (1 + r/n)^(nt), where

P is the initial principal, r is the interest rate as a decimal fraction, n is the number of compounding periods per year, and t is the number of years.  Here, P = $2179; t = 5 yrs; r = 0.06; and n = 4 (quarterly compounding).

We get:

A = $2179(1 + 0.06/4)^(4*5), or $2179(1.015)^20, or $2179(1.347) = $2937.80.

The compound amount is $2934.80.  Subtracting the $2179 principal results in the interest earned:  $755.80.

Lelu [443]
<span>For the answer to the question above, We have a right angled triangle with an opposite of 300.5 ft. (306 - 5.5) and an adjacent of 400 ft. Recalling SOH CAH TOA, tanθ = O/A.
tan(θ) = 300.5/400.
θ = tan^-1(300.5/400).
So the answer is
θ = 36.9°.
I hope my answer helped you.</span>
