The price of stock A at 9 a. m. was $15.75. Since then, the price has been increase at rate of $.05 per hour. At noon , the price of stock B was $16.53. It begin to decrease at the rate of $.13 per hour. If the stock continue to increase and decrease at the same rate, in how many hours will the price of the stocks be the same?

Step-by-step explanation:

15.75 plus .05x = 16.53-.13x

.78=.18x

4.3 hours is your answer

b

step-by-step explanation:

the total is 23.97. 0.25% is off so you have to subtracting 25% from 100% and you will get 75% if you convert it to decimal you will get 0.75. you have to find the original because the formula is % times original = total.so you have the total and the % so you just have to plug it in.

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
