HELP ME PLEASE ASAP A sum of money was invested for 2 years.

The rate of interest for the first year was 4% and for the second year was 5%.

The amount at the end of the second year was €9282.

By what number is €9282 divided to get the amount at the end of the first year?

By what number is the amount at the end of the first year divided to get the sum invested? What is the sum of money invested?

ab will be equal to

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!
