Answer: 5.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the money invested has grown to $8300 and the principal was $600, this means the interest is:

= $8300 - $6500

= $1800

Simple interest = (Principal × Rate × Time)/100

1800 = (6500 × Rate × 5)/100

Cross multiply

1800 × 100 = 32500 × Rate

Rate = 180000/32500

Rate = 5.5%

Find the value of each variable
garri49 [273]
Triangles add to 180° and there is already 100° shown inside of the triangle (30° plus 70° = 100°). 180° -100° = 80°, which is x. X and y are vertical angles, so y is also 80°. The answer is B.
