Question

Answer 1

Carlos expect to make $540 on an investments of $6000.

Explanation:

Given:

Carlos thinks that he should make $9 for every $100 he invests.

Now, to get the amount Carlos expect to make on an investments of $6000.

Let the amount he expect to make on an investments of $6000 be
`x.`

As, Carlos thinks that he should make nine dollars for every $100 he invests.

So, $100 is equivalent to $9.

Thus, $6000 is equivalent to
`x.`

Now, to get the amount using cross multiplication method:

`(100)/(9) =(6000)/(x)`

By cross multiplying we get:

`100x=54,000`

Dividing both sides by 100 we get:

`x=540.`

Therefore, Carlos expect to make $540 on an investments of $6000.
