Answer: If the time is 3 1/2 years (most reasonable assumption)
Her initial deposit was $160
Step-by-step explanation: The basic formula for simple interest is
<em>i = prt i </em>is interest, P is principal (deposit) r is the percentage (converted to a decimal) and t is time, the number of years.
For this question, you have to rearrange the equation to solve for p.
So divide both sides by rt and you have
p = i/rt
Substitute the values given
p = 36.40/(0.065)(3.5)
We estimate the diameter of the larger wheel to be 24 to 25 inches.
The formula for the Circ. of a circle in terms of the diameter is C = pi*d.
Here, the Circ. of the larger wheel is approx C = pi(24 inches) = 24*pi inches,
or
24(3.14) inches = 75.36 inches. You must now choose from the four answer choices. Which one is closes to 75.36 inches?
The correct answer is 5(p+r) because sum means add
Hope this helped :)
