The concept of interest is centralized on the idea that money has a time value. Your $1,000 today would not have the same worth 10 years after. When interest come into play, the value of your money grows with time. There are two types of interest: simple or compounding. Simple interest is based only on the original deposit. Compounding interest is based on the original deposit, add to that the accumulated interest. So, to put simply, simple interest increases by multiplication, while compounding interest increases exponentially.

In the given equation for simple interest, <span>I = prt, i is the amount of interest earned, P is the present worth, r is the interest rate and t is the amount of time. But what we really want to know is the future worth of our money, not the interest earned Therefore, the equation should be F (future worth) in terms of P, i and t. 

Amount of interest earned = Future worth - Present Worth
I = F - P
Substituting this to the given equation and simplifying,
F - P = Prt
F = P + Prt
F = P(1 + rt)</span>

A study shows that employees who begin their workday at 9:00 a.m. vary their times of arrival uniformly from 8:40 a.m. to 9:30 a
jeka94

Answer:

0.2 or 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

If the times of arrival vary uniformly, there is an equal chance of an employee reporting at any given time between 8:40 and 9:30.

The range between 8:40 and 9:30 is 50 minutes.

The range between 9:00 and 9:10 is 10 minutes.

Therefore, the  probability that a randomly chosen employee reports to work between 9:00 and 9:10 is:

P(9:00\leq X\leq 9:10)=\frac{10}{50}=0.20=20\%

The probability is 0.2 or 20%.

A student likes to use the substitution method for systems of equation. How can he use it with a system that is not in the prope
Kay [80]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given:

-2x+y=4     ---------equation1

3x+4y=49 ---------equation 2

We will solve the 1st equation for y and substitute the value into the 2nd equation.

-2x+y=4     ---------equation1

Move the values to the R.H.S except y

y = 2x+4

Now substitute the value of y in  2nd equation:

3x+4y=49

3x+4(2x+4)=49

3x+8x+16=49

Combine the like terms:

3x+8x=49-16

11x=33

Now divide both the sides by 11

11x/11 = 33/11

x= 3

Now substitute the value of x in any of the above equations: We will substitute the value in equation 1:

-2x+y=4

-2(3)+y=4

-6+y=4

Combine the constants:

y=4+6

y = 10

Thus the solution set of (x,y) is {(3,10)}....
