Given :
A freight elevator has a weight limit of 15,000 pounds.
Workers have loaded items weighing 2.6 tons onto the elevator.
To Find :
How many more pounds of freight can they load before reaching the weight limit.
Solution :
We know, 1 ton = 2000 pounds.
So, 2.6 ton = 2.6 × 2000 = 5200 pounds.
Now, number of pounds of freight can be loaded before reaching the weight limit is :
N = 15000 - 5200 pounds
N = 9800 pounds
He pays $135 for 3 years. So that’s $45/year. Considering 900 is your 100%, how many percents are represented by $45 in 900?
1)
You can see that 900 = 9x100.
So you can divide 900 by 9 to get 100.
That means you can also divide 45 by 9 (it’s proportional)
You have 45 for 900, you divide by 9 so you get 5 for 100 -> 5%
Or 2)

It’s a cross-multiplication :
(45 x 100)/900 = 5%
So the interest rate is 5%.

Which graph? I can not see any graph in there
The answer is 86.4 I believe.
The answer would be 25/54
