The formula for simple interest is <em>I</em> = <em>prt</em>, where <em>I</em> is the amount of interest, <em>p</em> is the principal borrowed, <em>r</em> is the interest rate written as a decimal number, and <em>t</em> is the amount of time in years.  First we find the amount of interest.  He borrowed $35000 but paid back $46375.  That means he paid 46375-35000 = $11375 in interest.  We can now substitute our information into our interest formula:
11375=35000(<em>r</em>)(5)
11375=35000(5)(<em>r</em>) ----- remember that multiplication is commutative
11375=175000<em>r</em>
Divide both sides by 175000 to cancel it:
11375/175000 = 175000<em>r</em>/175000
0.065 = <em>r</em>
To convert this to a percentage, we multiply by 100:
0.065(100) = 6.5%

Faris's gas tank is 1/10 full. After he buys 24 liters of gas, it is 2/5 full. How many liters can Faris's tank hold?
Arisa [49]

Answer:

80 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

24 liters is the difference between 2/5 full and 1/5 full.

Let x = number of liters in full tank.

2/5 x - 1/10 x = 24

4/10 x - 1/10 x = 24

3/10 x = 24

1/10 x = 8

x = 80

Answer: 80 liters
