There is only one answer, x=7
50% were invested in land, 10% were invested in stocks and 20% were invested in bonds.
Based on this, the total percentage of investments can be calculated as follows:
percentage of investments = 50% + 10% + 20% = 80%
The remaining percentage that was put into a saving account can be calculated as follows:
percentage of money in saving account = 100% - 80% = 20%
Now we know that the remaining is $35,000 represent the 20% of his money.
Assume his total amount of money is m, therefore:
20% x m = 35000
0.2m = 35,000
m = (35,000) / 0.2 = 175,000
Based on this, <span>the total amount of money that Mr. Rodriguez saves and invests is $175,000</span>
15 + 0.10n = 0.25n
15 = 0.25n - 0.10n
15 = 0.15n
15 / 0.15 = n
100 = n....they are the same at 100 brochures
Let us assume the first even number = n
The second consecutive even number = n + 2
The third consecutive even number = n + 4
The addition of the three consecutive even numbers is 42 and it is already given in the question. Based on the information's given in the question, the answer can be easily deduced.
Then, the equation can be written as
n + (n + 2) + (n + 4) = 42
3n + 6 = 42
3n = 42 - 6
3n = 36
n = 36/3
= 12
So
The first even number = 12
The second consecutive even number = n + 2
= 12 + 2
= 14
The third consecutive even number = n + 4
= 12 + 4
= 16
So the three consecutive even numbers are 12, 14, 16.
