If the sum of money is divided among ‘n’ children, each child will receive $60. If another child is added to the group and the amount is distributed again each child will receive $50. What is the sum of money to be distributed?
Let the money be = Y
If the sum of money is divided among ‘n’ children, each child will receive $60
Y ÷ n = 60 Y = 60n (eqn 1)
If another child is added to the group and the amount is distributed again each child will receive $50
Y ÷ (n+1) = 50 Y = 50 * (n+1) Y = 50n + 50 (eqn 2)
putting (eqn 1) into (eqn 2) 60n = 50n + 50 60n - 50n = 50 10n = 50 n = 50 ÷ 10 n = 5
Remember "n" is the number of children, but the question says What is the sum of money to be distributed?. So what will are looking for is Y, not "n".

From (eqn 1) Y = 60n Y = 60 * 5 Y = 300
Answer: $300

Spiking bond yields driving sharp losses in tech stocks
A spike in interest rates since the start of the year has accelerated a rotation out of high-growth technology stocks and into value stocks poised to benefit from a reopening of the economy. The Nasdaq has fallen more than 10% over the past month as the Dow has soared to record highs, with a spike in the 10-year US Treasury yield acting as the main catalyst. It recently surged to a cycle high of more than 1.60% after starting the year below 1%. But according to Jim Paulsen, the Leuthold Group's chief investment strategist, rising interest rates do not represent a long-term threat to the stock market. Paulsen expects the 10-year yield to cross 2% by the end of the year.
A spike in interest rates and its impact on the stock market depends on the economic backdrop, according to Paulsen. Rising interest rates amid a strengthening economy "may prove no challenge at all for stocks," Paulsen said.
