You invested a total of $12,000 at 4.5 percent and 5 percent simple interest. During one year, the two accounts earned $570. How

much did you invest in each account?

Answer: You invested $6000 in both accounts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount invested in the account earning 4.5% interest.

Let y represent the amount invested in the account earning 5% interest.

You invested a total of $12,000 at 4.5 percent and 5 percent simple interest. This means that

x + y = 12000

The formula for simple interest is expressed as

I = PRT/100

Where

P represents the principal

R represents interest rate

T represents time in years

I = interest after t years

Considering the account earning 4.5%

I = (x × 4.5 × 1)/100 = 0.045x

Considering the account earning 5%

I = (y × 5 × 1)/100 = 0.05y

During one year, the two accounts earned $570. . This means that

0.045x + 0.05y = 570 - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 12000 - y into equation 1, it becomes

0.045(12000 - y) + 0.05y = 570

540 - 0.045y + 0.05y = 570

- 0.045y + 0.05y = 570 - 540

0.005y = 30

y = 30/0.005 = 6000

x = 12000 - y = 12000 - 6000

x = $6000

The data set below represents the total number of touchdowns a quarterback threw each season for 10 seasons of play.

Leona [35]

Here are your measures of variability. The range is found by subtracting the highest and the lowest (29-5=24). To find the interquartile range, you will find the median of the lower half of the data and the median of the higher half of sta and subtract these 2 numbers. Here is your list. I have PUT PARENTHESES around the upper and lower quartiles: 5, 17, (18), 20, 20, 21, 23, (26), 28, 29. It is like finding the middle of the entire set of data and then finding the middle of each half. Subtract 26 and 18 to find the interquartile range of 8 touchdowns.

Find the percent of change if the original price is $246.95 and the new price is $199.95. Round to nearest tenth of a percent if

Grace [21]

Answer:

<h3>Percentage change = 19%</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the new price is lesser than the original price the percentage change will be a decrease.

To find the percentage change use the formula

$Percentage \: \: change = \frac{change}{original \: \: quantity} \times 100$

To find the change subtract the new price from the original price

new price = $199.95

original price = $246.95

Change = $246.95 - $ 199.95 = $47

$Percentage \: \: change = \frac{47}{246.95} \times 100$

<h3>Percentage change = 19%</h3>

Hope this helps you

What other points are on the line of direct variation through (5, 12)? Check all that apply. (0, 0) (2.5, 6) (3, 10) (7.5, 18) (

aalyn [17]

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a direct variation if it can be expressed in the form $y/x=k$ or $y=kx$

in this problem we have

the point $(5,12)$ is on the line of direct variation

so

Find the constant of proportionality k

$y/x=k$ -------> substitute ------> $k=12/5$

the equation is

$y=\frac{12}{5}x$

Remember that

If a point is on the line of direct variation

then

the point must satisfy the equation of direct variation

we're proceeding to verify each point

<u>case A)</u> point $(0,0)$

$x=0\ y=0$

Substitute the value of x and y in the direct variation equation

$0=\frac{12}{5}*0$

$0=0$ -------> is true

therefore

the point $(0,0)$ is on the line of direct variation

<u>case B)</u> point $(2.5,6)$

$x=2.5\ y=6$

Substitute the value of x and y in the direct variation equation

$6=\frac{12}{5}*2.5$

$6=6$ -------> is true

therefore

the point $(2.5,6)$ is on the line of direct variation

<u>case C)</u> point $(3,10)$

$x=3\ y=10$

Substitute the value of x and y in the direct variation equation

$10=\frac{12}{5}*3$

$10=7.2$ -------> is not true

therefore

the point $(3,10)$ is not on the line of direct variation

<u>case D)</u> point $(7.5,18)$

$x=7.5\ y=18$

Substitute the value of x and y in the direct variation equation

$18=\frac{12}{5}*7.5$

$18=18$ -------> is true

therefore

the point $(7.5,18)$ is on the line of direct variation

<u>case E)</u> point $(12.5,24)$

$x=12.5\ y=24$

Substitute the value of x and y in the direct variation equation

$24=\frac{12}{5}*12.5$

$18=30$ -------> is not true

therefore

the point $(12.5,24)$ is not on the line of direct variation

<u>case F)</u> point $(15,36)$

$x=15\ y=36$

Substitute the value of x and y in the direct variation equation

$36=\frac{12}{5}*15$

$36=36$ -------> is true

therefore

the point $(15,36)$ is on the line of direct variation

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

$(0,0)$

$(2.5,6)$

$(7.5,18)$

$(15,36)$

Mario’s speed while riding his bike is shown in the graph.

V125BC [204]

Answer:

I believe that it is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amanda's speed is 9 mph because 18 divided by 2 is 9.

Marcos speed is 8 mph because you can work backwards from the graph from the second point of (2, 16) to (1, 8) and find the difference of 1, and 8.

The slope is therefore 8.

Amanda's speed is 9 mph and Marco's speed is 8 mph. I think you know the answer from the previous statement.
