15, 000 $24.74 606.25
The first $5000 allocation purchased 200 shares at $25 per share. The second $5000 allocation only bought 156.25 shares because the price rose to $32 per share in the second month. The third $5000 allocation bought 250 shares at $20 per share. After three months, the couple owned 606.25 shares at an average cost of $24.74. Their investment is worth $15,156.25. (i.e., 606.25 shares $25 current value). If they had invested $15,000 all at once, they would only have 600 shares. At the current share price, their investment would only be worth $15,000, the same as the original lump sum. 4. Answers will vary. However, markets tend to go up in the long term.

Then the amount invested at 4.5% is (3000 – x). 0.03x + 0.045 (3000 – x) = 128.25 0.03x + 135 – 0.045x = 128.25 –0.015x – 6.75 x $450 at 3% 3000 – 450 = $2550 at 4.5% 19. Let x be the number on the second shift. Then 2x is the number on the second shift. And x 12 is the number on the third shift. x + 2x + (x – 12) = 196 4x – 12 = 196 4x = 208 x = 52 on the second shift 2x = 2(52) = 104 on the first shift x – 12 = 52 – 12 = 40 on the third shift 20. Let x be the number of options received by each employee. Then 1.5x is the number received by each team leader. And 3x is the number received by each senior manager. 421x + 22(1.5x) + 7(3x) = 171,000 Copyright © 2025 Pearson Canada Inc.
421x + 33x + 21x = 171,000 475x = 171,000 x = 360 options for each employee 1.5x = 1.5(360) = 540 options for each team leader (2)(540) = 1080 options for each senior manager Check: 421(360) + 22(540) + 7(1080) = 171,000

21. Let the amount of money spent on recreational players be $x. If twice as much money was spent on rep players, then the amount spent on recreational players can be determined by $x + $2x = $4320 $3x = $4320 $x = $1440 And therefore, the amount spent on rep players was $4320 $1440 = $2880. Let the number of Youth Large shirts purchased for recreational players be y. $10y + $8(50) + $8(50) = $1440 $10y + $400 + $400 = $1440 $10y = $640 y = 64 64 Youth Large shirts were purchased for recreational players. Let the number of Adult Small and Adult Medium shirts be z. For rep players, the cost of shirts is given by $8(50 – 10) + $10(3 × 64) + $16z + $16z = $2880 Therefore, the number of shirts of each Adult size ordered can be calculated as $320 + $1920 + $16(2z) = $2880 $2240 + $16(2z) = $2880 $16(2z) = $640 2z = 40 z = 20 20 Adult Small and 20 Adult Medium shirts were purchased for rep players. (50 + 50 + 64) + (40 + 192 + 20 + 20) = 436 There are a total of 436 players in the organization.
