Jose asks his friends to guess the higher of two grades he received on his math tests. He gives them two hints. The difference o

f the two grades is 16. The sum of one-eighth of the higher grade and one-half of the lower grade is 52. The system that represents his scores is below. x – y = 16
1/8x + 1/2y = 52

What is the higher grade of Jose’s two tests?

52

Answer : 96

x – y = 16 --------> equation 1

\frac{1}{8} x +\frac{1}{2} y = 52

x is the higher grade and y is the lower grade

We solve the first equation for y

x - y = 16

-y = 16 -x ( divide each term by -1)

y = -16 + x

Now substitute y in second equation

\frac{1}{8} x +\frac{1}{2} ( -16 + x ) = 52

\frac{1}{8} x - 8 +   \frac{1}{2} x = 52

\frac{1}{8} x  +   \frac{1}{2} x - 8 = 52

Take common denominator to combine fractions

\frac{1}{8} x  +   \frac{4}{8} x  -8 = 52

\frac{5}{8} x - 8  = 52

Add 8 on both sides

\frac{5}{8} x   = 60

Multiply both sides by \frac{8}{5}

x = 96

We know x is the higher grade

96 is the higher grade of Jose’s two tests.

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

The amount that should be in the account after 15 years is $95,321.85

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given data, we have the following:

monthly amount of $220=R

interest rate is fixed at 2.05%. We require the monthly ineterest rate, hence monthly interest rate= 2.05%/12=0.1708%=0.0017

t=15years×12=180 months

In order to calculate how much should be in the account after 15 years, we would have to use the following formula:

Ap=<u>R(1-(1+i)∧-t)</u>

             i

Ap=<u>220(1-(1+0.0017)∧-180)</u>

                       0.0017

Ap=<u>162,04</u>

      0.0017

Ap=$95,321.85

The amount that should be in the account after 15 years is $95,321.85

Imran deposited 3000 per month (at the start of month) into a saving account for 10 months. If the bank offer 6% interest compou
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

3.590.04

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula given for total amount saved when compounding interest =

A = P(1 + r/n)^nt

Where

A = Total amount saved after t years

P = Principal or initial amount saved

r = Interest rate

n = compounding frequency

t = time in years

From the above question

P = 3000

r =6% = 0.06

n =compounded monthly = 12

t = 3 years

Hence,

A = 3000(1 + 0.06/12)^3 × 12

A = 3000(1 + 0.06/12)^36

A = 3,590.04

Therefore, the total amount Imran will have in his account after 3 years = 3,590.04

Let X is the random number Erik thinks of, and Y is the random number Nita thinks of.
Both X and Y are in the range from 0 to 20.
<span>X<=20
Y<=20
If the difference between their two numbers is less than 10, then Erik wins.
The difference between the two numbers can be written X-Y, or Y-X depending on which number (X or Y) is greater. But we do not know that. In order not to get negative value, we calculate absolute value of X-Y,  written |X-Y| which will give positive value whether X is greater than Y or not.
If |X-Y|<10 Erik wins.
