The annual interest on 17,000 investment exceeds the interest on an 11,000 investment by 308 . the 17,000is invested at a 0.4% higher rate of interest than the 11,000 what is the interest rate of eacg investment

keeping in mind that

x =  percent rate for the 17000 investment.

y = percent rate for the 11000 investment.

so the amount for the 17000 interest will just be (x/100) * 17000, or namely 170x.

and the amount of interest earned for the 11000 is (y/100) * 11000, or just 110y.

now, regardless of what "x" and "y" are, we know that the interest from the 17000 is higher by 308 bucks, therefore 170x = 110y + 308.

we also know that the rate of x is higher as well than y by 0.4%, so then x = y + 0.4.

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1

false

step-by-step explanation:

false.   two legs of the trapezoid would be congruent, but the other two would not.   were all the legs congruent, then we'd have a square; were the 2 shorter sides congruent and the 2 longer sides also congruent, we'd have a rectangle.
