48 because,
<span>For example
To find x percent of y you can just do </span>
<span>y times x/100 </span>
<span>So in this case </span>
<span>100 times 20/100 </span>
<span>which comes to 20 </span>
<span>so 20% of 100 is 20. </span>
Answer:
Interest would be $15 every 3 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Interest = Principal x Rate x Time
Interest = 100 x 5% x 3
Interest = 5 x 3
Interest = 15
Real world example could be:
Consider x is time in minutes
Consider y is the amount of fish food required in grams
The equation could then represent how much food (in grams) that a fish needs to be fed x minutes after it was previously fed.
