Tyler's mom purchased a saving bond for tyler. the value of the saving bond increased by 4% each year. one year after it was purchased the value of the saving bound was $156. write and equation to represent this situation

1.04X = $156, where X represents the value of the Saving Bond

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, First step is to decide on a letter to represent the value of the Saving Bond, which in this case is chosen as X.

Second step is to understand the value of the increase of the saving bond in a year (in relation to X), this can be done by multiplying the value of the saving bond (which is X), the number of years (which is one year) and the interest rate (which is 4%), this gives;

X*1*4/100 = 0.04X

The third step is to sum up the initial saving bond value (which is X) and the increase in the saving bond in one year (which we found in step 2) and equate to $156, this gives;

X + 0.04X = $156

this adds up to 1.04X = $156

150

Step-by-step explanation:

4% as a decimal is .04%

.04% + 100% =1.04

156 divided by 1.04 is 150

and that is how I got my answer! :)

step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x

step-by-step explanation:

last month maria hiked the 5-mile mountain trail a number of times and she hiked the 10-mile canal trail several times. let x represent the number of times she hiked the 5-mile trail, and let y represent the number of times she hiked the 10-mile trail. if she hiked a total of 90 miles, which equation can be used to find the number of times maria hiked each trail? x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x
