1.5r+15=2.25r
Combine like terms: 1.5r+15-1.5r=2.25r-1.5r
15=0.75r
Get the unknown alone: 15/.75=.75/.75r
20=r or r=20 :)
Start with 90/240, then reduce the fraction
you can reduce by dividing each by 10 to get 9/24
reduce more from there, seeing that each number can be divided by 3
9/3 = 3
24/3 = 8
answer 3/8
Answer:
The amount of money that should be invested at the rate of 5.25% is $12,000 and the amount money that should be invested at the rate of 4% is $13,000
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The simple interest formula is equal to
where
I is the Final Interest Value
P is the Principal amount of money to be invested
r is the rate of interest
t is Number of Time Periods
Let
x ------> the amount of money that should be invested at the rate of 5.25%
25,000-x -----> the amount money that should be invested at the rate of 4%
in this problem we have
substitute in the formula above
Solve for x
therefore
The amount of money that should be invested at the rate of 5.25% is $12,000 and the amount money that should be invested at the rate of 4% is $13,000
Since my answer was deleted here it is:
The variable x represents the cost per pound of meat.
The variable y represents the cost per pound of cheese.
The deli charges $4.50 for a pound of meat.
Have a great day! (this is late but for anyone else who needs it)
Answer:
Mr Smith gets a new job, every 5 months on the average.
Step-by-step explanation:
Mr Smith spends an average of 3 months on every job he gets.
Then he spends an average of 2 months in between jobs.
Meaning, on the average, if he has a job, he does it for 3 months, then leaves, lends the next 2 months without a job, then gets another job at the end of the 2 months without a job and then he repeats the cycle of 3 months on the job, 2 months without the job.
So, on the average it takes Mr. Smith, (3+2) months to get a new job.
