Answer:

Brian had $30 initially.Brian had $30 initially.

Step-by-step explanation:

WE are given the following in the question:

Let Brian have x dollars and Colin have y dollars.

Ration of Brian's money to Colin's money is 5:1. This, we can write the equation:

\dfrac{x}{y} = \dfrac{5}{1}\\\\x = 5y

"Brian spent £27 that day. Brian now had £3 less than Colin."

Thus, we can write the equation:

x-27 = y-3\\x-y = 24

Solving the two equation by substitution, we get,

x - y - 24\\5y - y = 24\\4y = 24\\y=6\\x = 5y =30

Thus, Brian had $30 initially.

Luda [366]

Step-by-step explanation:

log_4(log_4 2x)=1 \\  \\  \therefore \: log_4 2x =  {4}^{1}  \\  \\ \therefore \: log_4 2x =4 \\  \\ \therefore \: 2x =  {4}^{4}  \\  \\ \therefore \: 2x = 256 \\  \\ \therefore \: x =  \frac{256}{2}  \\  \\ \therefore \: x = 128

You deposit $300 in a savings account that pays 6% interest compounded semiannually. How much will you have at the middle of the
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

  • The total amount accrued, principal plus interest,  from compound interest on an original principal of  $ 300.00 at a rate of 6% per year  compounded 2 times per year  over 0.5 years is $ 309.00.

  • The total amount accrued, principal plus interest,  from compound interest on an original principal of  $ 300.00 at a rate of 6% per year  compounded 2 times per year  over 1 year is $ 318.27.

Step-by-step explanation:

a)  How much will you have at the middle of the first year?

Using the formula

A\:=\:P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}

where

  • Principle = P
  • Annual rate = r
  • Compound = n
  • Time  = (t in years)
  • A = Total amount

Given:

Principle P = $300

Annual rate r = 6% = 0.06 per year

Compound n = Semi-Annually = 2

Time (t in years) = 0.5 years

To determine:

Total amount = A = ?

Using the formula

A\:=\:P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}

substituting the values

A=300\left(1+\frac{0.06}{2}\right)^{\left(2\right)\left(0.5\right)}

A=300\cdot \frac{2.06}{2}

A=\frac{618}{2}

A=309 $

Therefore, the total amount accrued, principal plus interest,  from compound interest on an original principal of  $ 300.00 at a rate of 6% per year  compounded 2 times per year  over 0.5 years is $ 309.00.

Part b) How much at the end of one year?

Using the formula

A\:=\:P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}

where

  • Principle = P
  • Annual rate = r
  • Compound = n
  • Time  = (t in years)
  • A = Total amount

Given:

Principle P = $300

Annual rate r = 6% = 0.06 per year

Compound n = Semi-Annually = 2

Time (t in years) = 1 years

To determine:

Total amount = A = ?

so using the formula

A\:=\:P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}

so substituting the values

A\:=\:300\left(1+\frac{0.06}{2}\right)^{\left(2\right)\left(1\right)}

A=300\cdot \frac{2.06^2}{2^2}

A=318.27 $

Therefore, the total amount accrued, principal plus interest,  from compound interest on an original principal of  $ 300.00 at a rate of 6% per year  compounded 2 times per year  over 1 year is $ 318.27.

Sandy has 16 roses,8 daisies, and 32 tulips. She wants to arrange all the flowers in bouguets. Each bouguet has the same number
avanturin [10]

Answer:

Greatest number of flowers that can be used in a bouquet is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question greatest number of flowers used in a bouquet will be decided by the "Greatest Common Factor" of the numbers of the flowers given.

So, factors of 16 = 1×2×2×2×2

Factors of 8 = 1×2×2×2

Factors of 32 = 1×2×2×2×2×2

Common factors = 1×2×2×2

Greatest Common Factor of these numbers will be = 1×2×2×2 = 8.

Therefore, greatest number of flowers that could be in a bouquet is 8.

Kay [80]
The complete question in the attached figure

we know that

angle y and angle (5y-18) are supplementary angles
then
y°+(5y-18)°=180°------> 6y=180+18------> y=198/6-----> y=33°
and
angle x and angle y are also supplementary angles
then
x+y=180--------> x=180-y-----> x=180-33-----> x=147°

the answer is
x=147°
y=33°

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

d. H0 : pˆ = .6, Ha: pˆ > .6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a minister claims that more than 60% of the adult population attends a religious service at least once a month.

Here the subject of interest about a proportion of adult population who attends a religious service at least once a month.

The claim is  this proportion is greater than 60% and we want to check  whether this claim is true.

Hence hypotheses would be for proportion only and not mean.

Since population proportion is to be checked we use p hat

Correct answer is

d. H0 : pˆ = .6, Ha: pˆ > .6
