It’s actually 50% because you have to make a proportion 1/2=x/100 multiply the numerator 1 by the denominator 100 and you got 100 then divide it by the other denominator which is 2 so 100 divided by 2 is 50 fill 50 in for x which is 50/100 which means 50%

Kenneth loaned $1,200 to his niece to buy a computer. Two years later, she paid him back the $1,200 along with an interest of $9
insens350 [35]

Answer:

<u>The  annual interest rate was 4%</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the data given to us for solving the question:

Loan to Kenneth's niece to buy a computer = US$ 1,200

Duration of the loan = 2 years

Niece paid back to Kenneth = US$ 1,296

Annual interest rate = x%

2. Let's find the annual interest rate after 2 years, using the following formula:

FV = PV * (1 + x)

PV = Loan to Kenneth's niece to buy a computer = US$ 1,200

FV = Niece paid back to Kenneth = US$ 1,296

rate (r) = x

Replacing with the real values:

1,296 = 1,200 * (1 + x)

1.296/1.200 = (1 + x) (Dividing by 1,200 at both sides)

1.08 = 1 + x

1.08 - 1 = x (Subtracting 1 at both sides)

<u>0.08 = x</u>

This is the interest rate for two years, for finding the annual interest rate we divide it by 2, this way:

<u>0.08 / 2 = 0.04 * 100 = 4%</u>

How many solutions exist for the given equation?
zmey [24]
<h3> Answer </h3>

x = 2

<h3>Step by step</h3>

1/2(x + 12) = 4x - 1

1/2x + 12/2 = 4x - 1

1/2x + 6 = 4x - 1

1/2x - 4x = -1 - 6

1/2x - 8/2x = -7

-7/2x = -7

x = -14/-7

x = 2
