The math I used is probably not the quickest way, but for me, the easiest.
25*5=125 25+20=45 45*7=315 125+315=440 25*4=100 440+100=540 5+7+4=16
B is your answer.
Answer:
tall candles = 39
Short candles = 52
Step-by-step explanation:
let tall candles be x
and short candles be y
No. Of candles sold = x + y =91
Money made from candles will be equal to = 8x + 5y = $572
These both are simultaneous linear equations.
x + y =91 ( multiply by 5)
5x + 5y = 455
8x + 5y = $572
Subtract them:
-3x = -117
x = -117/3
x = 39
put value of x in
x + y = 91
39 + y = 91
y = 91 - 39
y = 52
x shows tall candles so they are 39
y shows short candles so they are 52
We know the CE = 10x + 18 and DE = 7x - 1 and D is the midpoint of CE
⇒ CE = 2 * DE
⇒ 10x + 18 = 2 * (7x - 1)
⇒ 10x + 18 = 14x - 2
⇒ -4x = -20
⇒ x = 5
Now we also know that BC = 9x - 3 and AC = CE = 10x + 18
⇒ AB = AC - BC
⇒ AB = 10x + 18 - (9x - 3)
⇒ AB = x + 21
Substituting the value of x,
⇒ AB = 5 + 21
⇒ AB = 26
Hence, the value of AB is 26 units.
The interest is simple
A=5,200×(1+0.04×5)
A=6,240
6:$9
Multiply both by 2 (because 12/6=2)
And get 12:$18
3:7
Multiply both by 2 (because 14/7=2)
And get 6:14
6:3
Multiply both by 8 (48/6=8)
And get 48:24
Always label your units. Sorry I’m lazy
