you would change the denominators to the least common multiple, in this case, 12. then you would change the fractions to 8/12, 14/12, and 7/12. you would add those, and get 29/12. divide 29 by 12, and get 2. add the rest to get 2 5/12.
"Joint variation<span>" means "directly, but with two or more variables". Thus, we write as follows:
j </span>α gv
<span>
We insert proportionality constant k, to change it to equality.
j = kgv
We solve k,
1 = k (4)(3)
k =1/12
j = gv/12
j = 8(11)/12
j = 22/3</span>
<h3>The interest rate is 8 % if your balance on an investment of 857 dollars at the end of six years is 1268.36 dollars</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
Principal = $ 857
Amount = $ 1268.36
Number of years = 6
Rate of interest = ?
Simple Interest = Amount - principal
Simple Interest = 1268.36 - 857
Simple Interest = 411.36
<em><u>Use the formula,</u></em>

Thus the interest rate is 8 %
