Let the amount invested at 4% be = x
Let the amount invested at 3% be = y
Given is:
or .... (1)
As, total income for the two investments is $194, so equation is:
....(2)
Putting value of x from (1) in (2)
And x=5200-y
Hence, money invested at 4% is $3800 and money invested at 3% is $1400
Step 1. Convert 3 1/4 to an improper fraction.
3 * 4 + 1/4 - 1 5/8
Step 2. Simplify 3 * 4 to 12
12 + 1/4 - 1 5/8
Step 3. Simplify 12 + 1 to 13
13/4 - 1 5/8
Step 4. Convert 1 5/8 to an improper fraction.
13/4 - 1 * 8 + 5/8
Step 5. Simplify 1 * 8 to 8
13/4 - 8 + 5/8
Step 6. Simplify 8 + 5 to 13
13/4 - 13/8
Step 7. Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD) of 13/4, 13/8
LCD = 8
Step 8. Make the denominators the same as the LCD
13 * 2/ 4 * 2 - 13/8
Step 9. Simplify. Denominators are now the same
26/8 - 13/8
Step 10. Join the denominators
26 - 13/8
Step 11. Simplify
13/8
Step 12. Convert to a mixed fraction
1 5/8
The price of the sweater was reduced by 40%
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1; Cost before reduction was $20. The cost after reduction was 12$. Cost reduced= cost before reduction - cost after reduction
Cost reduced= $20 - $12 = $8
Step 2; We must find how much of the cost was reduced from the initial cost i.e. how much $8 is to $20. To do this we must convert it into a percentage. We divide the $8 with the $20 to get a value. This value must be multiplied with a 100 to be converted into a percentage.
Cost by which sweater was reduced= * 100 = 0.4 * 100 = 40
So the price of the sweater was reduced from $20 to $8 which equates to a reduction in 40%.
