Answer:
130 calories in the ice cream and 500 calories in the pie.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the amount of calories in the scoop of ice cream be x. the amount of calories in the piece of pie be 3x-20. we know that x+3x-20=500.
4x-20=500
If we add twenty to both sides, we end up with:
4x=520
Divide both sides by four, and you get x=130.
there are 130 calories in the scoop of ice cream and 130*4-20=500 calories in the pie.
Paul should use the mode of the poll results to guide his decision.
Hello! For these kinds of problems, the formula for finding the principal is I / rt. That means, divide the simple interest by the rate and time (rate should be in decimal form). In order to find simple interest, just do prt, which means multiply the principal (initial amount) by the rate (simple interest rate, in decimal form) by the amount of time (could be in months or years). With that being said, if you solve it correctly, here are your answers:
Principal: $14,181
Interest rate: 10%
Time: 4 years
Simple Interest: $5,672.40
Principal: $83,079
Interest rate: 9%
Time: 2 years
Simple Interest: $14,954.22
Principal: $659,379.96
Interest rate: 11.7%
Time: 28 months
Simple Interest: $179,753.57
Principal: $18,936
Interest Rate: 2.41%
Time: 3 Months
Simple Interest: $114.09
Note: If the time is in months, be sure to convert it into a decimal and multiply. If a decimal repeats, just convert it to the nearest hundredth.
