A bank manager wants to encourage new customers to open accounts with principals of at least $3,000. He decides to make a poster

advertising a simple interest rate of 4.8%. What must the principal be if the bank manager also wants to advertise that one can earn $10 the first month? Can the poster correctly say, "Open an account of $3,000 and earn at least $10 interest in 1 month!"?

Assuming that the 4.8% interest rate is an annual interest rate, then, after one year, with a principal of $3,000 we would be able to win 4.8% of $3000:

3000\times\frac{4.8}{100}=144

Divide 144 over 12 to find the monthly earnings:

\frac{144}{12}=12

Therefore, with a principal of $3,000 we would be earning $12 interest in 1 month.

For the earnings on the first month to be equal to $10, then you would have to win $120 annually, and $120 must be 4.8% of the principal. To find which quantity satisfies that 4.8% of it is equal to $120, divide 120 over 4.8%:

\frac{120}{4.8\text{ \%}}=\frac{120}{(4.8/100)}=\frac{100}{4.8}\times120=2500

Therefore, the principal must be equal to $2500 for you to win $10 on the first month, and it would indeed be correct to say that if you open an account with $3000 you will earn at least $10 interest in 1 month.

Find the measure of angle FED and DEN. Thx!!!! :)
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

m<FED=60, m<DEN=120

Step-by-step explanation:

m<FED=60

This is because <GEN and <FED are vertical angles.

Vertical angles are always congruent.

Vertical angles are formed by a pair of intersecting lines, and are the angles directly across from one another.

m<DEN=120

This is because <DEN and <GEN are supplementary.

Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees.

We know this because a straight line is always 180 degrees.

So:

m<DEN+m<GEN=180

m<DEN+60=180

m<DEN=120
