Let's set these two numbers as 'a' and 'b'

Now, let's set up equations based on the information known:

  • the sum of the two numbers is 52 --> a + b = 52
  • the difference is 28 --> a - b =28

Equations

  • a + b = 52 -- equation 1
  • a - b = 28 -- equation 2

Solve:

  (Equation 1) + (Equation 2)

  2a = 80

     a = 40 -- equation 3

  (Equation 3)

     40 + b = 52

       b = 12

So a  = 40 and b = 12

Hope that helps!

Suppose you have $16,000 to invest in three stocks, A, B, and C. Stock A is a low-risk stock that has expected returns of 4%. St
podryga [215]

To solve this problem, let us say that:

money invested in stock A = A

money invested in stock B = B

money invested in stock C = C

The given problem states that:

C = A * (1 / 4) = 0.25 A

B = A * (1 / 2) = 0.50 A

It was stated that we only have $16,000 to invest. Therefore:

A + B + C = 16,000

Substituting values of C and B in terms of A:

A + 0.50 A + 0.25 A = 16,000

1.75 A = 16,000

A = $9,142.86

So C and B is:

C = 0.25 (9142.86)
C = $2285.71

 

B = 0.50 (9142.86)

B = $4571.43
