Answer: $60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The formula for percentage increase I (given as a decimal) of an investment is I=\dfrac{S-P}{P}, where P is the purchase price and S is the sale price.

If Price of stock S= $75 and the percentage increase of 25% i.e. I=0.25.

Then, to find P , we substitute the values of S and I in the given equation, we get

0.25=\dfrac{75-P}{P}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 0.25P=75-P\\\\\Rightarrow\ P+0.25P=75\\\\\Rightarrow\ (1.25)P=75\\\\\Rightarrow\ P=\dfrac{75}{1.25}=60

Hence, the purchase price of the stock was $60.

Find the area of quadrilateral ABCD. [Hint: the diagonal divides the quadrilateral into two triangles.]
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

B) 28.53 unit²

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal AD divides the quadrilateral in two triangles:

  1. Triangle ABD
  2. Triangle ACD

Area of Quadrilateral will be equal to the sum of Areas of both triangles.

i.e.

Area of ABCD = Area of ABD + Area of ACD

Area of Triangle ABD:

Area of a triangle is given as:

Area = \frac{1}{2} \times base \times height

Base = AB = 2.89

Height = AD = 8.6

Using these values, we get:

Area = \frac{1}{2} \times 2.89 \times 8.6 = 12.43

Thus, Area of Triangle ABD is 12.43 square units

Area of Triangle ACD:

Base = AC = 4.3

Height = CD = 7.58

Using the values in formula of area, we get:

Area = \frac{1}{2} \times 4.3 \times 7.58 = 16.30

Thus, Area of Triangle ACD is 16.30 square units

Area of Quadrilateral ABCD:

The Area of the quadrilateral will be = 12.43 + 16.30 = 28.73 units²

None of the option gives the exact answer, however, option B gives the closest most answer. So I'll go with option B) 28.53 unit²

erastova [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: it would take 20 weeks before the amount in both accounts would be the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of weeks that it will take either Ruben and Shawna to have the same amount of money in their account.

Let y represent the total amount that would be in Shawna's account after x weeks

Let z represent the total amount that would be in Ruben's account after x weeks

Shawna has $750 in the bank. She deposits $37.50 each week. This means that the total amount after x weeks would be

y = 37.5x + 750

Ruben has $850 in the bank. He deposits his paycheck of $102.75 every Monday,and he spends about $70.25 each week.. This means that the total amount after x weeks would be

z = 850 + 102.75x - 70.25x

z = 850 + 32.5x

To determine the number of weeks before the amount in both accounts will becomes the same, we would equate y to z. It becomes

37.5x + 750= 850 + 32.5x

37.5x - 32.5x = 850 - 750

5x = 100

x = 100/5 = 20
