0.0115 = 115 / 10000
= 115/10000 5 into 115 is 23, 5 into 10000 is 2000
= 23 / 2000 in its simplest form.
The amount invested is $ 470
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>
Given that , we have earned $131.60 as simple interest for an amount deposit at the rate of 4% for seven years.
We have to find the amount invested. That is, we need to find the principal sum
Let us use the simple interest formula
<em><u>The simple interest is given as:</u></em>

Here, simple interest = $ 131.60
Rate of interest = 4 %
Number of years = 7
principal = ?
Substituting the values in formula, we get

Thus the amount invested is $ 470
I believe it will be 36 Im sorry if im wrong.
Answer:
, 
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>
I will use the elimination method.</h3>
We want to make the X's the same:


Because the signs of the X's are the same we subtract the 2 equations to make:
(I put the second one on top of the 1st)

So:

Substitute y into either equation 1 or 2:
(I chose equation 1)



So:

Multiply each number. Remember that when multiplying a negative and positive number, the outcome will be negative
7 x -5 = -35
-35 x 4 = -140
-140 is your answer
hope this helps
