Andrea wanted to calculate 5% of 300, so she multiplied 300 by 0.5 (300 x 0.5).

1 answer:

5 0

This is because Andrea converted the Percentage wrong.
to Convert a Percent to a Decimal, she should have divided by 100
so 5 divided by 100 = 0.05 [not 0.5]
Andrea should have multiplied 300 by 0.05 instead to get the right answer

quickly finding 10% of a number means to simply move the decimal to the left one place
so 10% of 300 is 30

since 5% is half of 10%
half of 30 is 15

and so 5% of 300 is 15

Answer:

x=amount invested at 7%

2x=amount invested at 8%

interest=principal*rate*time (time=1 year)

$150=0.07x+0.08*2x+0.09*3x

$150=0.07x+0.16x+0.27x

$150=0.50x
