Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  (T, C, J) = (in dollars)

     (10000, 10000, 0),

     (15000, 4915.97, 84.03),

     (18181.82, 1680.67, 137.51)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a number of ways to approach this question. We have chosen an approach that determines the investments required to achieve interest rate targets.

__

For an overall interest rate of I, the proportion that must be invested at rate I1 < I < I2 is ...

  proportion at I1 = (I2 -I)/(I2 -I1)

Similarly, the proportion that must be invested at I2 is what's left over. It can be computed similarly:

  proportion at I2 = (I -I1)/(I2 -I1)

__

We want an overall interest rate of $2000/$20000 = 10%.

Given available interest rates of 9%, 11%, and 130%, we need to have investments at a rate lower than 10% and at a rate higher than 10%.

If we use only the options for 9% and 11% (no junk bonds), then we can compute ...

  proportion at 9% = (11 -10)/(11 -9) = 1/2

  proportion at 11% = (10 -9)/(11 -9) = 1/2

1st Option:

  $10,000 in treasury bills; $10,000 in corporate bonds

__

Suppose we want to achieve a 13% return on our investments at 11% and 130%. Then the proportion invested at 9% will use this value for I2:

  proportion at 9% = (13 -10)/(13 -9) = 3/4

Of the remaining 1/4 of the money, we can achieve a 13% return by mixing the investments like this:

  proportion at 11% = (130 -13)/(130 -11) = 117/119

  proportion at 130% = (13 -11)/(130 -11) = 2/119

2nd option:

  $20,000 × 3/4 = $15,000 in treasury bills

  $5000 × 117/119 = $4,915.97 in corporate bonds

  The remaining amount, $84.03 in junk bonds

__

Let's suppose we want a 20% return on our investment in junk bonds and corporate bonds. Then the proportion of the money invested at 9% will be ...

  proportion at 9% = (20 -10)/(20 -9) = 10/11

And the proportion at 11% will be ...

  proportion at 11% = (130 -20)/(130 -11) = 110/119 . . . (of the remaining 1/11 of the funds)

3rd option:

  $20,000 × 10/11 = $18,181.82 in treasury bills

  $1,818.18 × 110/119 = $1,680.67 in corporate bonds

  The remaining amount, $137.51 in junk bonds

_____

Additional comment

The most that could be invested in Junk Bonds is $165.29. If the remainder is invested in Treasury Bills, then the overall return will be $2000. (You could consider this to be a 4th option.)

Solve the equation for the indicated variable. C=680x/h^2 for x

Answers

Answer:

C h^2  / 680 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

C=680x/h^2

Multiply each side by h^2

C h^2=680x/h^2  * h^2

C h^2=680x

Divide each side by 680

C h^2  / 680=680x/680

C h^2  / 680 = x

First step: multiply both sides by h^2
That gives you Ch^2= 680x

Second step: divide both sides by 680
That gives you (ch^2)/680=x

Simplify: x= (ch^2)/680
That is the simplest form

Diners frequently add a 15% tip when charging a meal to a credit card. What is the price of the meal without the tip if the amount charged is $

Answers

Question:

Diners frequently add a​ 15% tip when charging a meal to a credit card. What is the price of the meal without the tip if the amount charged is ​$20.70? How much was the​ tip?

Answer:

Price of meal = $18

Tip price = $2.70

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of the meal be y;

Let the tip be t

From the question;

15% of y is the tip charge (t). i.e

t = 15%y

=> t = 0.15y          --------(i)

The total amount charged is $20.70  (This means that the sum of the price of the meal and the tip is $20.70)

=> y + t = 20.70            [substitute the value of t=0.15y from equation (i)]

=> y + 0.15y = 20.70

=> 1.15y = 20.70

=> y = [tex]\frac{20.70}{1.15}[/tex]

=> y = $18

Therefore the price of the meal, y, is $18.

From equation (i),

t = 0.15y           [substitute the value of y = $18]

t = 0.15(18)

t = $2.70

Therefore the tip was $2.70

Currently Shawn pays $550 per month to rent his apartment. Next year his rent will increase by 13.5% from what he currently pays . a) find the amount that shawn's rent will increase . b) what will be shawn's new monthly rent?. c) If you divide your answer from (b) by shawn's original rent of $550, what is the decimal result? do you see any connection to part (a)?

Answers

a) Simply do 0.135(13.5%)*550 to get that his rent increases by $74.25.

b) Simply do 550+74.25 to get that his new rent is $624.25.

c) 624.25/550 = 1.135, or 100%+13.5%, the amount his rent increased.

Hope it helps <3

Answer:

A. $74.25

B. $624.25

C. 1.135, and this is a connection to part a because it's what we multiplied 550 by to get our new rent.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Shawn pays $550 per month for rent, and he has a 13.5% increase, we can multiply 550 by [tex]1+\frac{13.5}{100}[/tex] to get our new number.

[tex]1+0.135=1.135[/tex]

[tex]550\cdot1.135=624.25[/tex]

This is the new monthly rent, part B. To find Part A, let's subtract 550 from thi number.

[tex]624.25-550=74.25[/tex]

Now, for part C, let's divide 624.25 by 550.

[tex]624.25\div550 = 1.135[/tex]

If you notice, 1.135 is the same number we multiplied 550 by to get our new cost, and as a percent, 1.135 is 113.5%.

in how many ways cvan 5 people be chosen and arranged in a straight line, if there are 6 people to choose from'

Answers

Answer:

720 different ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Permutation has to do with arrangement. If r objevt selected from n pool of objects are to be arranged in a straight line, this can be done in nPr number of ways.

nPr = n!/(n-r)!

If 5 people are to be chosen and arranged in a straight line, if there are 6 people to choose from, this can be done in  6P5 numbe of ways.

6P5 = 6!/(6-5)!

6P5 = 6!/1!

6P5 = 6*5*4*3*2*1

6P5  = 720 different ways

Mariam went to a shop and bought 8 snickers, 3 galaxy and 3 kitkat. She payed 8 BD

totally. Her friend Zainab bought 4 snicker, 9 galaxy and 4 kitkat. She payed 10.9BD.

 Is it possible to know the cost of each chocolate mathematically?

 If yes how. If not why?​

Answers

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s be the price of snickers, g the price of galaxy and k the price of kitkat.

●For Mariam the equation will be:

8 s + 3 g + 3k = 8

●For Zainab the equation will be:

4 s + 9 g + 4 k = 10.9

Take the first equation and divide both sides by 4 to make it easier.

You get:

● 2s + 0.75 g + 0.75k = 2

Take the second equation and divide both sides by 2 to make easier.

You get:

● 2s + 4.5g + 2k = 5.45

The new system of equation is:

● 2s +0.75g + 0.75k = 2

● 2s + 4.5g + 2k = 5.45

Express s in the first equation using the other variables.

● 2s +0.75g +0.75k = 2

● 2s + 0.75(g+k) = 2

● 2s = 2-0.75(g+k)

● s = 1- 0.325 (g+k)

Replace s by the new expression in the second equation:

●2 [1-0.325(g+k)] +4.5 g +2k = 5.45

●2-0.75(g+k) +4.5g + 2k = 5.45

●2- 0.75g -0.75k +4.5 g +2k = 5.45

●2+ 3.75g + 1.25k = 5.45

● 3.75g +1.25k = 3.45

We have eliminated one variable (s)

We will keep (3.75g+1.25k=3.45) and use it.

Now that we eliminated in the second equation do it again in the first one.

You will get a system of equations with two variables.

Solve it and replace g and k with the solutions.

Finally solve the equation and find s.

2. Salvador has 10 cards, each with one number on
it. The numbers are 2, 3, 4,5,5,7,7,7,7,7.
Salvador is going to make a row containing all 10
cards. How many ways can he order the row?

Answers

Answer:

15,120 number of ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a permutation problem. Given the 10 cards with numbers 2, 3, 4,5,5,7,7,7,7,7 on it, if Salvador is going to make a row call, the number of ways he can order a row is as shown below;

Total number of cards = 10!

number of times the digit 5 was repeated = 2times

number of times the digit 7 was repeated = 5times

The number of ways he can make a row call = 10!/2!5!

= 10*9*8*7*6*5!/2*5!

=  10*9*8*7*6/2

=  10*9*8*7*3

= 15,120 different ways

Hence, the number of ways he can order the row is 15,120 number of ways.

What is Slope?

A slope is also known as the gradient of a line is a number that helps to know both the direction and the steepness of the line.

slope = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)


The rate of change shown in the graph is the slope of the given line.

Now, to know the slope of the line consider any two points on the line, such as (0,0) and (5,400).

Therefore, the slope of the line can be written as,

Slope, m = ($400 - $0)/(5-0) hour
