All you need to do is multiply the amount of boys by the distance each boy runs.
9x3/5=5.4 miles
The boys run a combined distance of 5.4 miles.
Answer:
She will pay $7,500 interest over the 5 years
She will have to pay back $17,500 in total
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us revise the rule of the simple interest
<em>I</em> = <em>Prt</em> and <em>A</em> = <em>P</em>(1 +<em> rt</em>)
, where:
- A = Total Accrued Amount (principal + interest)
- r = Rate of Interest per year in decimal
- t = Time Period involved in months or years
∵ Leah borrows £10,000 over 5 years at a simple interest rate of 15%.
∴ P = 10,000
∴ t = 5
∴ r = 15% = 
= 0.15
→ Substitute them in the first rule to find the interest
∵ I = 10,000(0.15)(5)
∴ I = 7,500
∴ She will pay $7,500 interest over the 5 years
→ Let us find A
∵ A = 10,000(1 + 0.15×5)
∴ A = 17,500
∴ She will have to pay back $17,500 in total
<span>the question is 3 variable equation solution
the three equation will be
5x+4y+7z=152
3x+2y+5z=92
2x+2y+4z=74
solving by elimination we get
x=11,y=12,z=7</span>
Answer:27 pieces were sold at the original price.
63 pieces were sold at the new price
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of pieces of pottery that was sold at the original price.
Let y represent the number of pieces of pottery that was sold at the new price.
They sold some of their pottery at the original price of $9.50 for each piece. This means that the amount that they got from selling x pieces of pottery at the original price would be 9.5x
They later decreased the price of each piece by $2. This means that the new price was 9.5 - 2 = $7.5
This means that the amount that they got from selling x pieces of pottery at the new price would be 7.5y
If they sold all 90 pieces and took in $729, then the equations are
x + y = 90
9.5x + 7.5y = 729 - - - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 90 - y into equation 1, it becomes
9.5(90 - y) + 7.5y = 729
855 - 9.5y + 7.5y = 729
- 9.5y + 7.5y = 729 - 855
- 2y = - 126
y = - 126/- 2 = 63
Substituting y = 63 into x = 90 - y, it becomes
x = 90 - 63 = 27
the smaller number is 13 and the larger one is 18.
Let's say that the smaller number is x and the larger one is y.
Giving the equation x + 5 = y
This would also make the equation y^2-x^2= 155
to solve let's simplify to find what y^2 is in x terms.
y^2 = (x+5) (x+5) = x^2 +10x + 25.
therefore x^2 + 10x + 25 -x^2= 155
10x + 25 = 155
10x = 130
x = 13
y = 18
