This question is not even trying to test your arithmetic. It's just testing
to see whether you know how to read numbers in words properly.
When you read numbers in words, the only time you ever say "and"
is for a decimal point. There are no decimals in this question, so the
"and" is not a part of any numbers.
The question gives you two numbers. The word "and" is the marker
that's
BETWEEN them. The two numbers are 1,300 and 950 .
The first thing the question wants you to do is write the numerical
expression for all the words. That's (1300 - 950) / 4 .
The next thing you're supposed to do is"evaluate the expression" ...
find out what number it all boils down to. I don't think you'll have
any trouble with that now.
Answer:
$900
Step-by-step explanation:
First, converting R percent to r a decimal
r = R/100 = 3%/100 = 0.03 per year,
then, solving our equation
I = 5000 × 0.03 × 6 = 900
I = $ 900.00
The simple interest accumulated
on a principal of $ 5,000.00
at a rate of 3% per year
for 6 years is $ 900.00.
Here we can change the variables to real numbers, just to make things easier for us. For the sake of calculation, let’s say that x=10, y=6, and z=1.
So, y years from now, Yann will be x years old. If we plug in our randomly chosen numbers, we get that Yann will be 10 years old 6 years from now. This means that today, he would be x-y years old, or 10-6, so 4 years old today.
Next we ask how old he was z years ago, or in this case, 1 year ago. We know that if you’re 4 years old now, you were 3 years old last year. In other words, you’re 4-1 years old, or x-y-z years old.
Your answer is x-y-z.
