I know we're not supposed to post lists of homework problems, but these are the only problems I'll ever need help with. I'm cheating my way through algebra class, since it has nothing to do with my degree other than being an arbitrary requirement, and I've tried harder than you can imagine to learn this nonsense, but it's not happening. I can cheat anything but word problems. So I beg of you, please lend a hand.
Joan has twice as much money invested at 5% simple annual interest as she does at 4%. If her yearly income from the two investments is $357, how much does she have at each rate? At 4% she has $____. At 5% She has $____.
A motel clerk counts his $1 and $10 bills at the end of a day. He finds that he has a total of 53 bills having a combined value of $161. Find the number of bills of each denomination he has. The Clerk has ___ ones, and ___ tens.
Soybean meal is 18% protein; cornmeal is 9% protein. How many pounds of each should be mixed together in order to get 360-lb mixture that is 15% protein? ___ pounds of cornmeal, and ___ pounds of soybean.
A store mixes red fescue worth $11 per pound and ryegrass worth $14 per pound. The mixture is to sell for $12 per pound. Find how much of each should be used to make a 576 pound mixture. Red fescue ___ and ___ ryegrass.
Arlington and Vernonville are 144 miles apart. A car leaves Arlington traveling towards Vernonvolle, and another car leaves Vernonville at the same time, traveling towards Arlington. The car leaving Arlington travels at 10mph more than the other car, and they meet after 1 hour and 36 minutes. What are the average speeds of the cars?
A boat's crew rowed 16 miles downstream, with the current, in 2 hours. The return trip upstream, against the current, covered the distance, but took 4 hours. Find the crew's rowing rate in still water and the rate of the current.
I don't care how they are solved, just need the answers to fill in my homework so I can move on. There might be one word problem on the test, and I'm comfortable missing it, just need to get through this crap so I can move on with my life. Thanks in advance!
