At the zoo, Peter saw 9 animals. Some are kangaroos and some are
elephants. There are 30 legs in all. How many of each animal are there?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

6 elephants and 3 kangaroos in the zoo.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of animals = 9

Number of legs seen = 30

But an elephant has 4 legs, while a kangaroo has 2 legs.

Let the number of elephant be represented by E, and the number of kangaroo by K.

So that,

E + K = 9 .................. 1

4E + 2K = 30 ............. 2

Multiply equation 1 by 2 to have

2E + 2K = 18 ............ 3

Subtract equation 3 from 1

2E = 12

E = 6

Substitute the value of E in equation 1

E + K = 9

6 + K = 9

k = 3

Thus, there were 6 elephants and 3 kangaroos in the zoo.

There are eight employees on the Game Shop's sales teams. Last month, they sold a total of g games. One of the sales teams members, Chris, sold seventeen fewer games than what the team averaged per employee. How many games did Chris sell?

Answers

Answer:

g/8 - 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of employees = 8

Total games sold = g

Average sales per employee = total games sold / number of employees = g/8

Chris sold 17 fewer games than the average sales per employee :

Chris sale = average sale per employee - 17

Chris sales = g/8 - 17

∠PRQ + ∠RQP + ∠RPQ = 180°

70° + 46 + ∠RPQ = 180°

116° + ∠RPQ = 180°

Find ∠RPQ

Answer:

x = -2 and y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

plug in the x = 3y - 8 into the x for the top equation

so it looks like this...

-3(2y - 8) + 2y = 12

solve

-6y + 24 + 2y = 12

-4y + 24 = 12

      -24   -24

-4y = -12

divide bye -4

y = 3

plug in y = 3 on the second equation

x = 2y - 8

x = 2(3) - 8

x = 6 - 8

x = -2

Bernice paid $162 in interest on a loan if $1,800 borrowed at 6%. How long did it take her to pay off the loan?

Answers

Answer:

1.5 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, converting R percent to r a decimal

r = R/100 = 6%/100 = 0.06 per year,

then, solving our equation

t = 162 / ( 1800 × 0.06 ) = 1.5

t = 1.5 years

The time required to

accumulate simple interest of $ 162.00

from a principal of $ 1,800.00

at an interest rate of 6% per year

is 1.5 years (about 1 years 6 months).
