Answer:

original price = $30.00

Step-by-step explanation:

note that the original price is 100% , then

1% = $1.50 ÷ 5 = $0.30 , so

Answer:

$30

Step-by-step explanation:

  • if 5% of an item = $1.50
  • then 100% of the item = ?

let the original price = x

\frac{5}{100}  =  \frac{1.5}{x}

5x = 100 \times 1.5

5x = 150

therefore

x = $30

so the original price is $30

Mary deposits $400 into an account that pays simple interest at a rate of 2% per year. How much interest will she be paid in the
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

$16

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple interest is based on the principal amount of a loan or deposit, whereas compound interest is based on the principal amount and the interest that accumulates on it in every period.

Simple Interest = P x r x n

where P = Principal amount, r = Annual interest rate, n = Term of loan, in years​

2% = 2 ÷ 100 = 0.02  so r = 0.02

Therefore,  

Simple Interest = 400 x 0.02 x 2 = 16

So she will be paid $16 in the first two years.
