1. Arjun puts £750 into his savings account. The account earns 5% simple interest per annum. After 4 years, how much money will Arjun have in his savings account? £ 1. Connor invests £1500 of his money for 2 years at a simple interest rate of 10%. How much money will he get back in interest?

1. 900

2. 350

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula,

A= P(1+rt)

A= final amount

P= starting amount

r= intrest rate

t= time

1. A=750(1+.05*4)

A=750(1.2)

A=900

2. A=1500(1+.1*2)

A=1500(1.1)

A=1650

But theyre

asking for how much intrest will they get back, so you subtract the new amount by the starting amount to find how much intrest was earned

1650-1500=350

delaney would like to make a 5lb nut mixture that is 60% peanuts and 40% almonds.

she has several pounds of peanuts and several pounds of a mixture that is 20% peanuts and 80% almonds.

let 'p' represent the number of pounds of peanuts needed to make the new mixture, and  

let 'm' represent the number of pounds of the 80% almond-20% peanut mixture.

:

p + m = 5

therefore

m = (5-p)

write an equation based on the percent of peanuts

1p + .2m = .6(5)

replace m with (5-p)

p + .2(5-p) = .6(5)

p + 1 - .2p = 3

p - .2p = 3 - 1

.8p = 2

p = 2/.8

p = 2.5 lbs of peanuts required

then

5 - 2.5 = 2.5 lbs of the peanut/almond mixture required

:

a) what is the system that models this situation?

p + m = 5

1p + .2m = .6(5)
