Hal fritz purchased a $5,000 bond at 95. the annual interest is 6%.
what was the cost of the bond? what was the annual interest? what is the yield (to nearest tenth of a percent)?

Hi there :-)

Bond Cost = Face Value × Percent
5,000×0.95=4,750

Annual Interest=Face Value×Interest Rate
5,000×0.06=300

Annual Yield=Annual Interest×Bond Cost
(300÷4,750)×100=6.32%

Hope it helps

So don't take my word i'm not exactly a mathematical person but i would assume a. because while selling the soap every month you increase in sells so you would by 11 percent. the you would get the factor 0.89 which if i had to guess would be the monthly profit over 11 probably wrong tho

Ok here we go ..there are plenty of ways to solve such math problems but we will go for the smartest and easiest ..5x+2y=7  -2x+6y=9we rearrange them into the following ..by multiplying the 1st equation by 2 it becomes 10x + 4y = 14we rearrange it and so it becomes 10x = 14 - 4yas for the second equation we multiply it by 5 and rearrange it so it becomes as to the following ..-10x + 30y = 45rearranging so 10x = 30y -45now 10x equals both 14 - 4y and 30y -45so   14 - 4y = 30y -4531 = 26yy= 31/26 = 1.19 or around 1.2so by now we can calculate x easily as  -2x+6y=9so 2x = 6y -9 = 6 * 31/26 - 9 = -1.84  then x = - 0.92 or around -0.9best luck!
