Okay so say that x=amount invested with 6% and y=amount invested with 9%
x+y=8,500 so > x=8500-y
6%=0.06        <span>9%=0.09</span>
0.06x +0.09y=667.5 (Substitute in x=8500-y so only numbers and y)
0.06(8500-y)+0.09y=667.5 (expand brackets)
510-0.06y+0.09y=667.5 (-510)
0.03y=117.5 (/0.03)
$3916.67=Y  ->9%
X=8500-Y 
x=$4583.33 ->6%

The summer camp Jessica attends is four hundred twenty-three and four tenths miles from her home. A detour adds 10 miles to the
juin [17]

Given that Jessica attends summer camp at a distance of four hundred twenty-three and four tenth mile = 423\frac{4}{10}  = 423 + \frac{4}{10} = 423+0.4 = 423.4 miles

And a detour adds 10 miles to the distance.

That means we need to add 10 miles to the given distance.

So new distance = 423.4 + 10 = 433.4 miles

Hence Jessica needs to travel 433.4 miles for summer camp.

maxonik [38]

Answer:

$13.20/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

A 10% wage increase would amount to 0.10($12) = $1.20.  Adding this increase to the starting rate $12/hr results in $13.20/ hr.

A faster way in which to do this is shown below:

Wages after a 10% increase = (1.10)($12/hr) = $13.20/hr

A triangle has side lengths measuring 3x cm, 7x cm, and h cm. Which expression describes the possible values of h, in cm?
