Find the percentage of the household that didn't receive basic cable
100% - 88% = 12%
<em>This is the percentage of the household that didn't receive basic cable by the household owned TV set.</em>

Now find the number with the percentage
without basic cable = 12% × 114.9 million
without basic cable = 12/100 × 114,900,000
without basic cable = 13,788,000

<em>The number of households that didn't receive basic cable is 13,788,000 or 13,788 million</em>

Raylan opened a savings account with $100. After 5 years there is $122. 50 in the account. What is his simple interest rate?
serious [3.7K]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

4.5% annually

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Simple interest is the amount of interest added to a singular sum of money at a fixed rate.

Formula

The formula for simple interest is A = P(1+rt). In this formula, A is the total amount of money in the account, P is the original amount deposited, r is the rate of interest as a decimal, and t is the time in years.

Calculations

To find the rate, plug the information we know into the formula above

  • 122.50 = 100(1+r*5)

Divide both sides by 100

  • 1.225 = 1 + r*5

Subtract 1 from both sides

  • 0.225 = r*5

Divide both sides by 5

  • 0.045 = r

This gives us the rate as a decimal. So, to find the rate as a percent. Do this by moving the decimal 2 places to the right (or just multiply by 100, they do the same thing). This means that the rate of simple interest is 4.5%.

Turn 7/10 into decimal. (0.7)

Keep adding by 0.7 until you get the number closest to 4.1

3.5 is the closest, if we add another 0.7, we get 4.2.

So, he can get 5 sections of 0.7m
