1. Three friends pooled their money to purchase a new game system that costs $298. One person
iragen [17]

Answer:

First person: $107

Second person: $98

Third person: $93

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "f" the amount of money (in dollars) that the first person contributed to the purchase, "s" the amount of money (in dollars) that the second person contributed to the purchase and "t" the amount of money (in dollars) that the third person contributed to the purchase.

With the information given in the exercise, you can set up the following equations:

Equation 1 → f+s+t=298

Equation 2 → s=f-9

Equation 3 → t=f-14

Substitute the Equations 2 and 3 into the Equation 1 and then solve for "f":

f+(f-9)+(f-14)=298\\\\3f-23=298\\\\f=\frac{321}{3}\\\\f=107

Finally, substitute the value of "f" into the Equation 2 and then into the Equation 3, in order to find the values of "s" and "t".

Therefore, you get:

s=107-9\\\\s=98\\\\\\t=107-14\\\\t=93

Jason’s savings account has a balance of $2179. After 5 years , what will the amount of interest be at 6% compounded quarterly?
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

$755.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine the compound amount first and then subtract the principal from it, to find the amount of interest.

The compound amount formula is A = P (1 + r/n)^(nt), where

P is the initial principal, r is the interest rate as a decimal fraction, n is the number of compounding periods per year, and t is the number of years.  Here, P = $2179; t = 5 yrs; r = 0.06; and n = 4 (quarterly compounding).

We get:

A = $2179(1 + 0.06/4)^(4*5), or $2179(1.015)^20, or $2179(1.347) = $2937.80.

The compound amount is $2934.80.  Subtracting the $2179 principal results in the interest earned:  $755.80.

At one gas station, gas costs $2.75 per gallon. Write an equation that relates the total cost, C, to the number of gallons of ga
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

The equation will be:

  • C = 2.75g

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that at one station, gas costs $2.75 per gallon.

Let 'g' be the number of gallons of gas purchases

Let 'C' be the total cost

Thus, the expression for total cost can be generated by multiplying the price per gallon by the number of gallons.

Thus,

C = 2.75g

Therefore, the equation will be:

  • C = 2.75g

A cosmetics company that makes small cylindrical bars of soap wraps the bars in plastic prior to shipping. Find the surface area
Lelu [443]
We would have two circles of 5cm diameter each, and a rectangle of the length pi*diameter and 2cm, so lets add them:
total = 2circles + rectangle
total = 2(2*pi*(5/2)^2) + pi*diameter*heigth
= 4*pi*(2.5)^2 + pi*5*2
= 109.9
that is the surface area of a bar soap 109.9 cm^2

What is the value of 6i/1+i? 2 – 6i 2 + 6i 3 – 3i 3 + 3i
mihalych1998 [28]

6i/ (1+i)  

multiply by the complex conjugate (1-i)/(1-i)

6i/(1+i) *  (1-i)/(1-i)

6i* (1-i) = 6i - 6i^2 = 6i - 6(-1) = 6i +6

(1+i)*(1-i)= 1-i +i -i^2 = 1 -i+i -(-1) = 1+1=2

(6+6i)/2

3+3i

Answer: 3+3i
