Subtraction doesn't mix with mult. or div. Are you sure you've copied this problem down correctly?

"decrease an amount (x) by 19" would be x - 19 (NO multiplication here)

You invest $5000 in an account at 5.5% per year simple interest. How much will you have in the account at the beginning of the 6

NeX [460]

Answer:

The amount in the account in the beginning of the 6th year is $6375 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

$Simple\ interest = \frac{Principle\times Rate\ times Time}{100}$

As given

You invest $5000 in an account at 5.5% per year simple interest.

Principle = $ 5000

Rate = 5.5 %

Time = 5 years

(As calculate amount in the account for beginning of 6th year.)

Putting all the values in the formula

$Simple\ interest = \frac{5000\times 5.5\times 5}{100}$

$Simple\ interest = 50\times 5.5\times 5$

Simple interest = $ 1375

Amount = Principle + Simple interest

Putting values in the above formula

Amount = $5000 + $1375

Amount = $ 6375

Therefore the amount in the account in the beginning of the 6th year is $ 6375 .

Add the two expressions.<br><br> −2.4n−3 and −7.8n+2

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

-10.2n - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two expressions in variable n and we have to add the two expressions.

An important thing to note is that only like terms can be added. i.e. the term with "n" can only be added or subtracted to the term with "n". Similarly a constant can only be added or subtracted to a constant.

$(-2.4n-3)+(-7.8n+2)\\=-2.4n-3-7.8n+2\\=-2.4n-7.8n-3+2\\=-10.2n-1$

Thus, the two given expressions add up to -10.2n - 1

If the principal is $300 rate 3% time 4 years then what is the interest earned and the new balance

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

a) Interest earned = $36

New Balance = $336

b) Interest rate = 0.05 or 5%

New Balance = $517.5

c) time t = 5

New Balance = $612.5

d) Principal Amount = $675

New Balance = $783

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

a) Principal (P) = $300

Rate (r) = 3% or 0.03

Time (t)= 4 years

Interest earned = ?

The formula used is: $Simple \ Interest (I)= P\times r\times t$

Putting values and finding interest

$Simple \ Interest (I)= P\times r\times t\\Simple \ Interest (I)= 300\times 0.03\times 4\\Simple \ Interest (I)= 36$

So, Interest earned = $36

New Balance = Principal + Interest = 300+36 = $336

b) a) Principal (P) = $300

Rate (r) = ?

Time (t)= 3 years

Interest earned = 67.50

The formula used is: $Simple \ Interest (I)= P\times r\times t$

Putting values and finding rate

$Simple \ Interest (I)= P\times r\times t\\67.50= 450\times r\times 3\\67.50=1350\times r\\r=\frac{67.50}{1350}\\r=0.05 \ or \ 5\%$

So, Interest rate = 0.05 or 5%

New Balance = Principal + Interest = 450+67.50 = $517.5

c) Principal (P) = $500

Rate (r) = 4.5% or 0.045

Time (t)= ?

Interest earned = $112.50

The formula used is: $Simple \ Interest (I)= P\times r\times t$

Putting values and finding time

$Simple \ Interest (I)= P\times r\times t\\112.50= 500\times 0.045\times t\\112.50=22.5 \times t\\t=\frac{112.50}{22.5}\\t=5$

So, time t = 5

New Balance = Principal + Interest = 500+112.50 = $612.5

d) Principal (P) = ?

Rate (r) = 8% or 0.08

Time (t)= 2 years

Interest earned = 108.00

The formula used is: $Simple \ Interest (I)= P\times r\times t$

Putting values and finding Principal

$Simple \ Interest (I)= P\times r\times t\\108=P\times 0.08 \times 2\\108=P\times 0.16\\P=\frac{108}{0.16}\\P=675$

So, Principal Amount = $675

New Balance = Principal + Interest = 675+108 = $783
