Answer:

512

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of 7th graders in the school is x.

As three-quarters of them play at least one sport, so, the number of 7th graders who play sport = \frac 3 4 x.

Among the 7th graders who play sports, half of them play more than one sport. So, the number of 7th graders who play more than one sport = \frac 1 2\times \frac 3 4 x=\frac 3 8 x.

Among the 7th graders who play more than one sport, one-third of them play more than two sports. So, the number of 7th graders who play more than two sport = \frac 1 3\times \frac 3 8 x=\frac 1 8 x.

Among the 7th graders who play more than two sports, one-quarter of them play more than three sports.

So, the number of 7th graders who play more than three sport = \frac 1 4\times \frac 1 8 x=\frac{1}{32} x.

7th graders play more than three sports at the school= 16

\Rightarrow \frac{1}{32} x=16

\Rightarrow x =16 \times 32

\Rightarrow x = 512

Hence, the total numbers of 7th graders in the school are 512.

For the given bond, whose interest rate is provided, find the semiannual interest payment and the
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

The semiannual interest payment is $485.5

The total interest earned over the life of the bond is $10,681

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the simple interest is I = Prt, where

  • P is the money invested
  • r is the interest rate in decimal
  • t is the time in years

∵ The bond is $20,000

∴ P = 20,000

∵ First Income Fund 11-year bond at 4.855%

∴ t = 11

∴ r = 4.855%

- Change it to decimal by divide it by 100

∴ r = 4.855 ÷ 100 = 0.04855

∵ The semiannual interest payment = P × r × half a year

∴ The semiannual interest payment = 20,000 × 0.04855 × \frac{1}{2} (1)

∴ The semiannual interest payment = 485.5

The semiannual interest payment is $485.5

∵ I = Prt

- Substitute the values of P, r and t in the formula

∴ I = 20,000(0.04855)(11)

∴ I = 10,681

The total interest earned over the life of the bond is $10,681
