Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

$225

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Principal = $6,000

Interest rate = 5%

Time = 1 year

Taxes paid = 25% on the interest earned

To find:

Money earned after paying taxes ?

Solution:

First of all, let us calculate the total interest earned:

Formula for Simple Interest is given as:

$SI =\dfrac{PRT}{100}$

Where P is the principal

R is the rate of interest

T is the time taken

Putting the given values:

$SI =\dfrac{6000 \times 5\times 1}{100} =\$300$

Now, it is given that 25% of the interest earned is given as taxes.

Taxes paid = 25% of $300

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{25}{100} \times 300 =\$75$

Therefore, the money earned = Interest earned - Taxes paid

The money earned = $300 - $75 = $225

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Time required by Ben was 12 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Time Required for Fred = 16 mins

Ben completed his run in 3/4 of the amount of time of Freds run.

We need to find the time required by Ben.

Now Given that;

Ben completed his run in 3/4 of the amount of time of Freds run.

It means that time required by Ben is equal to 3/4 times time required by Fred.

Time required by Ben = $\frac{3}{4}\times Freds \ run$

Time required by Ben = $\frac{3}{4}\times 16 = 12\ mins$

Hence Time required by Ben was 12 minutes.
