8 0

6/8 = 3/4 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

From the number line we can see that

1 bag of grapes has weight of 1/8 pounds

4 bags of grapes has weight of 1/4 pounds

3 bags of grapes has weight of 3/4 pounds

Step 2 :

The total number of bags having a weight of minimum 3/8 pounds is 1 + 4 + 3 = 8

The total weight of bags that has weight of minimum 3/8 pound is

1/8 + 1/4 + 3/ 8

= 1/8 + 2/8 + 3/8 ( L.C.M is 8)

=6/8 =3/4 pounds

what was the original principal for an 8% simple interest bank account that holds $4340 after 3 years?

strojnjashka [21]

The principal amount is $\$3500$

<u>SOLUTION: </u>

Given that, simple interest $8\%$ ; $\$4340$ after 3 years

We have to find the principal.

Now, let the principal amount be p.

Then, $\text { Simple Interest }=\frac{p \times 8 \times 3}{100}=\frac{p \times 24}{100}$

Now, we know that, Balance = Principal amount + Simple Interest

$\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow \$ 4340=p+\frac{24 p}{100}} \\\\ {\rightarrow 4340=p\left(1+\frac{24}{100}\right)} \\\\ {\rightarrow 4340=p \times \frac{100+124}{100}} \\\\ {\rightarrow p=4340 \times \frac{100}{124}} \\\\ {\rightarrow p=35 \times 100} \\\\ {\rightarrow p=3500}\end{array}$
