Suppose Marcus invests $750 at an annual rate of 6.25%. How long will it take until Marcus earns $125 in simple interest?

1 answer:

6 0

We know, S.I. = P * R * T / 100
Here, S.I. = 125
P = 750
r = 6.25

Substitute into the formula:
125 = 750*6.25*t / 100
4687.5 * t = 12500
t = 12500 / 4687.5
t = 2.67
t = 2 2/3

In short, Your Answer would be 8/3 Years

Hope this helps!

Please tell me, how do i solve percentages? And yes, i know there is more than one way. Please tell me the methods to solve all

I'll give a practice problem to help explain it a bit better.

Here, let's try to solve 45% of of 60.

First, we convert the percentage into a decimal. To turn any percentage into a decimal you move the point two spaces to the left.

That means 45% as a decimal is .45.

Next, we multiply our number, 60, by the decimal .45.

60×.45=27.

That means 45% of 60 is 27.

To sum it all up, you have to get the percentage, move the decimal point two spaces to the left, and multiply it by the number you were trying to find the percentage of.

Have a wonderful day! :)

Hi There!

Change all the fractions to decimal you do that by dividing numerator by the denominator. Remember $\frac{1}{2}$ as a decimal is 0.5

A= $\frac{3}{7}$ = 0.43

B= $\frac{5}{9}$ = 0.60

C= $\frac{8}{10}$ = 0.8

D= $\frac{5}{12}$ = 0.42

E= $\frac{3}{5}$ = 0.6

Based, on the data above B,C,E are greater than $\frac{1}{2}$ because they all have decimals greater than 0.5, B= 0.6, C= 0.8, E=0.6

So, $\frac{5}{9} ,\frac{8}{10} ,\frac{3}{5}$ are all greater than $\frac{1}{2}$

Hope This Helps :)
