DENIUS [597]

Answer:$12500 was invested into the account that pays 4.5% annual interest..

$2500 was invested into the the certificate of deposit that pays 1.8% annual interest..

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount invested into the account that pays 4.5% annual interest.

Let y represent the amount invested into the certificate of deposit that pays 1.8% annual interest.

Sean has 15,000 to invest. She will put some of it into a fund that pays 4.5% annual interest and the rest in a certificate of deposit that pays 1.8% annual interest. This means that

x = y + 15000

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% interest, the interest would be

I = (x × 4.5 × 1)/100 = 0.045x

Considering the account earning 11% interest, the interest would be

I = (x × 1.8 × 1)/100 = 0.018y

if she wants to earn 4.05% annual interest on the total amount, the amount would be

4.05/100 × 15000 = 607.5

Therefore,

0.045x + 0.018y = 607.5 - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 15000 - y into equation 1, it becomes

0.045(15000 - y) + 0.018y = 607.5

675 - 0.045y + 0.018y = 607.5

- 0.045y + 0.018y = 607.5 - 675

- 0.027y = - 67.5

y = - 67.5/- 0.027

y = $2500

x = 15000 - y = 15000 - 2500

x = $12500

ziro4ka [17]

Basically all the information in this problem is useless. They included all those numbers to confuse you. If you read throughly you can see that all you need to know is that Adam's sister can only have 70 grams of fat each day and that her dinner will have 48 grams of fat.

To figure this out I use this formula all the time to figure out percentages.
is/of=x/100
Your trying to figure out what is 48 percent of 70 because that's how much Adam's sister is going to eat at dinner. So your is would be 48 and your of is 70. When you substitute those numbers your formula becomes 48/70=x/100. Now you cross multiply and get 70x=4800.All that's left is to divide 70 on both sides. Which gives you 68.57.The final answer is 69 percent.

Sven is trying to find the maximum amount of time he can spend practicing the five scales of piano music he is supposed to be wo

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

He should spend 3 minutes or less on each scale

Sven made a mistake in the symbol of inequality, placing lesser or equal instead of greater or equal

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

t ------> is the number of minutes he spends on each scale

Remember that the phrase "at least" is equal to "greater than or equal"

The inequality that represent this scenario is

$70-5t \geq 55$

solve for t

$-5t \geq 55-70$

$-5t \geq -15$

Multiply by -1 both sides

$5t \leq 15$

Divide by 5 both sides

$t \leq 3$

Sven is incorrect

He should spend 3 minutes or less on each scale

Sven made a mistake in the symbol of inequality, placing lesser or equal instead of greater or equal

A carpool service has 2,000 daily riders. A one-way ticket costs $5.00. The service estimates that for each $1.00 increase to th

solmaris [256]

Answer:

Total number of riders that ride on carpool daily = 2000

Total Cost of one way ticket = $ 5.00

Total Amount earned if 2000 passengers rides daily on carpool = 2000 × 5

= $10,000

If fare increases by $ 1.00

New fare = $5 + $1

= $6

Number of passengers riding on carpool = 2,000 - 100 = 1,900

If 1,900 passengers rides on carpool daily , total amount earned ,if cost of each ticket is $ 6 = 1900 × $6 = $11400

As we have to find the inequality which represents the values of x that would allow the carpool service to have revenue of at least $12,000.

For $ 1 increase in fare = (2,000 - 1 × 100) passengers

For $ x increase in fare, number of passengers = 2,000 - 100·x

= (2,000 - 100·x) passengers

New fare = 5 + x

New Fare × Final Number of passengers ≥ 12,000

(5+x)·(2,000 - 100 x) ≥ 12,000

5 (2,000 - 100 x) + x(2,000 - 100 x) ≥ 12,000

10,000 - 500 x + 2,000 x - 100 x² ≥ 12,000

100 - 5 x + 20 x - x² ≥ 120

- x² + 15 x +100 - 120 ≥ 0

-x² + 15 x -20 ≥ 0

x² - 15 x + 20 ≤ 0

⇒ x = 1.495

x ≥ $ 1.495, that is if we increase the fare by this amount or more than this the revenue will be at least 12,000 or more .

Also, f'(x) = 0 gives x = 7.5

⇒ The price of a one-way ticket that will maximize revenue is $7.50
