For number 2. The answer is $6.49
Assuming the length is y and the width is x
Perimeter = y + y + x + x
= 2y +2x
= 2 (y + x)
if the is 8 and the perimeter is 108
108 = 2 (y +8)
108/2 = y+8
54 = y +8
54 - 8 = y
46 = y
Length = 46 inches
Answer: 7000
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the amount invested in 8% account be P1 and the amount invested in 6% account be P2
. If the total amount invested is $20,000 then:
P1+P2=20,000. (Eq. 1)
The interest earned in one year from the 8% account is:
I1=0.08P1
and the interest earned in one year from the 6% account is:
I2=0.06P2
If the total interest earned is $1460, then:
I1+I2=1460
0.08P1+0.06P2=1460
(Eq. 2) From Eq. 1 :
P1=20000−P2
Substituting this into Eq. 2:
0.08 (20000−P2) + 0.06P2 = 1460
1600 − 0.08P2 + 0.06P2 = 1460
0.02P2 = 140
P2 = 140 / 0.02
P2 = 7000
Hence, he invested $7000 at the rate of 6%.
