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.

Triangle PQR has coordinates P(–8, 3), Q(–8, 6), and R(–3, 6). If the triangle is translated by using the rule (x, y) right-arro
omeli [17]

Answer:

d

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule (x, y ) → (x + 4, y - 6 )

means add 4 to the original x- coordinate and subtract 6 from the original y- coordinate, thus

P(- 8, 3 ) → P'(- 8 + 4, 3 - 6 ) → P'(- 4, - 3 )

Q(- 8, 6 ) → Q'(- 8 + 4, 6 - 6 ) → Q'(- 4, 0 )

R(- 3, 6 ) → R'(- 3 + 4, 6 - 6 ) → R'(1, 0 )

You spent 1/2 of your money at the theater and 1/4 at an arcade. you have $17.50 left. How much money did you originally have?
4vir4ik [10]
You basically add 17.50+17.50=35 and add 35+35=70, reason being is because the 35 is the 1/2 and 17.50 is the 1/4 so 70 is your answer

What is 2.8 as a fraction in simplest form
irina1246 [14]
2.8 = 2 + 0.8

*let's analyze the decimal 0.8 as a fraction

0.8 = 8/10

*but if we divide the numerator and denominator by the same common factor of 2, we find that the fraction can be reduced to:

(8/2)/(10/2) = (4)/(5) = 4/5

*now evaluating the whole value of 2 (from the 2.8), we know there are a total of (5) - fifths in order to make a whole, so for 2 whole, we require:

2*(5/5) = (2*5)/5 = 10/5

*Now we add the fractions together:

2 = 10/5
0.8 = 4/5

10/5 + 4/5

*add numerators only, the denominator stays as a 5

(10 + 4)/5 = 14/5

*there are no common factors between 14 & 5 (other than 1, but that won't help reduce the fraction any), so the fraction is in it's simplest form:

answer is: 14/5
