Jack was 14 years older than Priscilla. Together their ages totaled 158 years. What were their ages?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Jack's age: 86, Priscilla's age: 72

Step-by-step explanation:

Priscilla's age can be called x, which makes Jack's x + 14. We know that their added ages total 158 years which means that x + x + 14 = 158, which means that 2x + 14 = 158. We can then solve this by subtracting 14 on both sides and getting 2x = 144. We can divide on both sides to get that x = 72. Since Priscilla's age is x and Jack's is x + 14, we already know Priscilla's age and we need to find Jacks by adding 14 to 72. 72 + 14 = 86, so Jack's age is 86.

Answer 2

Answer:

Jack is 86 years old,

and Priscilla is 72 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

j = Jack

p = Priscilla

j - 14 = p $\Rightarrow$ j = p+14

j+p = 158

By subsituting the value of j ( first equation) into the second equation, we get:

p+14+p = 158

2p+14 = 158

2p = 144

p = 72.

So, j = 86

Stella is going to invest in an account paying an interest rate of 7% compounded
continuously. How much would Stella need to invest, to the nearest ten dollars, for
the value of the account to reach $1,650 in 9 years?

Answers

Answer:

$901.64

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

rate= 7%

Final amount = $1650

time= 9 years

Let us apply the compound interest formula to solve for the Principal amount P

A=P(1+r)^t

substitute

1650=P(1+0.07)^9

1650=P(1.07)^9

1650=P1.84

Divide both sides by 1.84

P=1650/1.83

P=901.64

Hence she needs to invest $901.64

What is the total cost with sales tax price $17.95 tax 6%

Answers

the answer would be 16.87

Answer:

$19.03

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, this is a standard percentage problem, so learning how to do this is necessary. First, we have to find what 6% of $17.95 is, since of is our keyword and that means to multiply, and percentages turn into decimals:

17.95 x 0.06 = 1.08

So we have our tax, then we have to add that to our original price to get the whole thing:

17.95 + 1.08 = 19.03

So the total sale price is $19.03

Answers

Hi there :)

So since they initially drank 50 gallons, half of that is 25 gallons. 50+25= 75, therefore they drank 75 gallons.

Jada has 12 library books and 1/3 of that is 4, because 12 divided by 3 is 4, so 12-4=8. That means Han checked out only 8 books.

how many miles he will ride after different numbers of hours.
c) Plot two points that show how far Travis
will ride after 3 hours and after 4 hours.

Answers

Answer:

3 times 30 miles and 4 times 40 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Travis will ride at a distance of 30 miles after 3 hours and at a distance of 40 miles after 4 hours.

What is Speed?

Speed is the unit rate in terms of distance travelled by an object and the time taken to travel the distance.

Speed is a scalar quantity as it only has magnitude and no direction.

Given that,

Travis is planning to ride at a constant speed during an upcoming bike trip.

This implies that the slope of the graph will be a constant.

So the graph will be a straight line.

We have two points on the graph (1, 10) and (2, 20).

The starting point will be (0, 0).

Slope = (20 - 10) / (2 - 1) = 10

So the equation of the line is y = 10x.

When x = 3 hours, y = 30 miles

When x = 4 hours, y = 40 miles

Hence the points has to be marked at (3, 30) and (4, 40).
