Question 174521: Hi. I'm having a lot of trouble with this question. Suppose you invested $5000 in three different funds for one year. The funds paid simple interest of 8%, 10%, and 7%, respectively. The total interest at the end of one year was $405. You invested $500 more at 10% than at 8%. How much did you invest in the 10% fund?
The answer of the book is $1500, but I really need to know how to get there and I would really appreciate it your help. THANKS!

Question 174529: Hi. I have tried solving this, but I am not sure if it's right and would really appreciate your help.
A hardware store mixes paints in a ratio of two parts red to six parts yellow to make pumpkin orange. A ratio of five parts red to three parts yellow makes red-pepper red. A gallon of pumpkin orange sells for $25, and a gallon of red-pepper red sells for $28.
A. Write a system of equations to model the situation (for this one i wrote
2r+6y=25 and 5r+3y=28, but I dont know if it is correct)
B. Solve the system (I got r=31/8 and y=23/8)
C. Find the cost of 1qt of red paint and the cost of 1qt of yellow paint. Ok, this one I don't know.
I would really appreciate your help. THANKS!

Question 174542: Hi. As of now I've been for almost two hours trying to solve the same problem, and I just can't. I don't know if it's correct, or not, the thing is that i have pages after pages of work, and I just don't seem to arrive to reasonable answer. could you please help?
While stranded on an island, the crew of a sailboat has access to only three sources of food, as shown in the table below. One of the crew members designs a daily diet to supply each person with 120g of fat, 220g of carbohydrates, and 80g of proteins.
_______________ A______B_______C
Fat____________ 10 g____ 4g_____ 12 g
Carbohydrates___11 g___77 g_____0g
Protein_________4 g_____1 g_____16 g
A. Write a system of three equations in three variables to find the number of portions of each food each person must have to meet the daily diet.
Ok, so this one I know it has to be:
10a+4b+12c=120
11a+77b+0c=220
4a+1b+16c=80
B. Use an augmented matrix to solve the system of equations from part (a). Round each answer to the nearest tenth.
Here I just got lost. I watched some videos and did everything they did, and somehow i got a=428/27, b=0, and c=-540/17. But then i tried to do everything by solve in the graphing calculator and the answers were completely different
C. Suppose food C runs out. How would this change the number of portions of food required each day?
Please, help.

Question 174551: As a participant in your school's community service project, you volunteer a total of 40 hours over the course of the school year. Your volunteer hours include serving at a soup kitchen, picking up trash at several local parks, and collecting toys for needy children. You spend 4 times as many hours collecting toys as picking up trash, and 2 hours less serving at the soup kitchen than picking up trash.
1. Solve this system of equations using Cramer's Rule.

Question 174673: In this problem, they give me the diagram of a rectangle with a diagonal dividing it in two triangles. Each corner is labeled with A, B, C, and D.
The perimeter of a rectangle is 28 cm. The perimeter of each of the triangles is 24 cm. The diagonal of the rectangle is 2 cm longer than the longer side of the rectangle.
How do you write a system of three questions in three unknowns?
How do you simplify the system to a system of two equations in two unknowns?
And how can I write an augmented matrix for the system?
This is what I've done so far:
2a+2b=28
a+b+x=24
2+a=?
Thankyou&Happy New Year!!
