1200 resulted $11.88 interest for 23 days. What is the interest rate

Mathematics
1 answer:
Lunna [17]3 years ago
6 0

now, let's notice that 23 days is not even a month let alone a year, assuming there are 365 days in a year, then 23 days is really 23/365 of a year.

\bf ~~~~~~ \textit{Simple Interest Earned} \\\\ I = Prt\qquad \begin{cases} I=\textit{interest earned}\dotfill&\$11.88\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill & \$1200\\ r=rate\to r\%\to \frac{r}{100}\\ t=years\dotfill &\frac{23}{365} \end{cases}

\bf 11.88=(1200)(r)\left(\cfrac{23}{365} \right)\implies 11.88=\cfrac{(1200)(23)r}{365}\implies 11.88=\cfrac{27600r}{365} \\\\\\ 4336.2=27600r\implies \cfrac{4336.2}{27600}=r\implies 0.157\approx r \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{converting that to a percentage}}{0.157\cdot 100 \approx r}\implies \stackrel{\%}{15.7}\approx r

Mina says triangle A with angles
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Yes, Mina is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the triangles be A and B

Given

Triangle A:

Angles = 34, 57

Triangle B:

Angles = 89, 57

Required

Is Mina's claim correct?

First, we calculate the third angle in both triangles.

For A:

Third\ Angle = 180 - 34 - 57

Third\ Angle = 89

For B:

Third\ Angle = 180- 89 - 57

Third\ Angle = 34

For triangle A, the angles are: 34, 57 and 89

For triangle B, the angles are: 34, 57 and 89

<em>Since both triangles have the same angles, then by the postulate of AAA (Angle-Angle-Angle), the triangles are similar.</em>

Jonathan is rolling to dice and needs to roll and 11 to win the game he is playing what is the probability that Jonathan wins th
hjlf

Answer:

1 / 18

Step-by-step explanation:

In a roll of two dice :

Number of faces on a dice = 6

Total sample space for 2 6-sided dice = (number of faces)^Number of dice = 6^2 = 36

Total possible outcomes = 36

Required outcome = sum of 11

11 = {(5,6) ; (6, 5)}) = 2 possibilities

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

P(obtaining a sum of 11) = 2 / 36 = 1/18

The answer is 74 years. do 11/3=3.67. Then 3.67x20 =73.4 and since that .4 is not a full year you would have to round up to 74
