To find a percentage of a product, multiply by the decimal form of that percentage (20%=0.20;50%=0.50). Taking $140 and multiplying by 0.35 gives us 49, which we subtract from the original total and get $91. So, the percentage decrease is 35%.

A deposit of 4000 at 9.5% for 270 days
Lapatulllka [165]
The deposit is 4,000 so P = 4000.

The interest rate is 9.5%

9.5 ÷ 100 = 0.095.

r = 0.095: I = P*r*t*: I = P*r*tl  = 4000*0.095*

(270/365)I = 281.095890410959 I = 281.10

So your answer would be: 281.10
