<h3>Answer:</h3>

4.5% annually

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Simple interest is the amount of interest added to a singular sum of money at a fixed rate.

Formula

The formula for simple interest is A = P(1+rt). In this formula, A is the total amount of money in the account, P is the original amount deposited, r is the rate of interest as a decimal, and t is the time in years.

Calculations

To find the rate, plug the information we know into the formula above

  • 122.50 = 100(1+r*5)

Divide both sides by 100

  • 1.225 = 1 + r*5

Subtract 1 from both sides

  • 0.225 = r*5

Divide both sides by 5

  • 0.045 = r

This gives us the rate as a decimal. So, to find the rate as a percent. Do this by moving the decimal 2 places to the right (or just multiply by 100, they do the same thing). This means that the rate of simple interest is 4.5%.

the sugar-sweet company is going to transport its sugar in to Market it will cost $6,500 to rent trucks plus $150 for each ton o
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

$ 3750  = truck rental;   $125 per ton of sugar transported

C is cost;  S is number of tons transported

Equation relating C to S would be a linear equation like y = mx + b

C = 125S + $3750

This equation would be graphed in the first quadrant only

you would start with your y-intercept at (0, 3750)

As x increases by 1, your y increases by 125 yielding these points:

(1, 3875)  (2, 4000)  (3, 4125)  etc.  

This shows that for each increase by one ton of sugar, the cost goes up $125

PLS HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

The correct answer is the last choice. It travels for 2 hours, then stops for 1 hour, and finally travels again for 2 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first segment of the trip, the car goes from 0 to 2 hours and the line is moving up. Therefore, it traveled for 2 hours.

In the second segment, the line went straight horizontal for 1 hour. That means the distance didn't change, in other words, it didn't move.

In the last segment, it moved up again for 2 hours.
