Let $x = the cost per flower.

Number of roses sold = 20
Profit on 20 roses = $6

Cost = (30 roses)($x per rose) = $ 20x
Revenue = ($0.50 per rose)*(20 roses) = $10
Profit = $10 - $ 20x = $6

That is,
10 - 20x = 6
20x = 10 - 6
20x = 4
x = $0.2 = 20 cents

Answer: She paid 20 cents per flower.

Which two investment options would be best if you are 45 years old, just starting to save, and want to retire when you are 65? C
Lelu [443]

Answer:

As you are starting at 45 years until 65 years, meaning you got only 20 years. So, the best investment options I recommend are,

  • Certificate of Deposit
  • Bonds
  • Mutual Funds

Explanation:

First of all, in terms of investing, 20 year time span is NOT that beneficial or wise! Because as you know, to gain the true effect of compounding, it is always better to start early and go on for about 30 or 40 years, even 50! Google about "Warren Buffet"!

However, in this case, the 3 options mentioned above are much better. But I'm not saying others are bad.

Certificate of deposits, Bonds and Mutual funds are relatively less riskier and does not fluctuate much with the market.

Moreover, the interest  yields are preferably higher.

Given that the interest rate remains relatively at a higher lever, these 3 options will pay of a decent contribution through compounding over the course of 20 years.
