The answer can be readily calculated using a single variable, x:
Let x = the amount being invested at an annual rate of 10%
Let (8000 - x) = the amount being invested at an annual rate of 12%
The problem is then stated as:
(x * 0.10) + ((8000 - x) * 0.12) = 900
0.10(x) + ((8000 * 0.12) - 0.12(x)) = 900
0.10(x) + 960 - 0.12(x) = 900
0.10(x) - 0.12(x) = 900 - 960
-0.02(x) = -60
-0.02(x) * -100/2 = -60 * -100/2
x = 6000 / 2
x = 3000
Thus, $3,000 is invested at 10% = $300 annually; and $8,000 - $3,000 = $5,000 invested at 12% = $600 annually, which sum to $900 annual investment.
Answer:
17
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the larger number be represented by x
Let the smaller number be represented by y
from the question, the next equations can be gotten :
x - y = 9 equation 1
x = 1 + 2y equation 2
Substitute for x in equation 1
1 + 2y - y = 9
1 + y = 9
Collect like terms
y = 9 - 1
y = 8
Substitute for y in equation 1 and solve for x (the larger number)
x - 8 = 9
x = 9 + 8
x = 17
Growth rate = 200% each year
SO population becomes twice in each year
After 20 years, population = 5* 2^20 = 5242880
(Assuming no deaths occur)
Answer:
x ≈ 3.1 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The segment from the centre to the chord is a perpendicular bisector, thus
The triangle is right with base = 
x
Applying Pythagoras' identity to the right triangle, then
( x )² + 1.4² = 2.1²
x² + 1.96 = 4.41 ( subtract 1.96 from both sides )
x² = 2.45 ( multiply both sides by 4 )
x² = 9.8 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = 
≈ 3.1 ft ( to the nearest tenth )
