When finding the percent difference between two numbers, there are two ways you can do this.

1. The first way is how to calculate the percentage INCREASE of two numbers:

-The formula is Increase / Original Number × 100 = % increase

Step 1: Find out the difference between the two numbers you're comparing. New number - Original number = Increase.

Step 2: Divide the increase by the original number and then multiply your answer by 100. (If your answer is a negative number, then it is a percent decrease, not a percent increase.)

2. The second way is how to calculate the percentage DECREASE of two numbers:

Step 1: Find out the difference between the two numbers you're comparing. Original number - New number = Decrease.

Step 2: Divide the decrease by the original number and then multiply your answer by 100. Decrease ÷ Original Number × 100 = % Decrease. (If your answer is a negative number, then is is a percent increase, not a percent decrease.)

You want to buy a car, and a local bank will lend you $30,000. The loan would be fully amortized over 6 years (72 months), and t
Georgia [21]

Answer:

<h2>- 56,667cents</h2><h2>- 6.17%</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Before we can determine the monthly loan paymnet, we must first calculate the total amount paid at the end of 6years.

Amount = Principal + Interest

Given Principal = $30,000

Interest = Principal * rate * time/100

Interest = $30,000*6*6/100

Interest =  $10,800

Amount =  $30,000+ $10,800

Amount =  $40,800

If amount paid after 6years is $40,800, my monthly loan payment = $40,800/72 ≈ $566.67 to nearest dollar.

since $1 - 100cents

$566.67 = 100 * 566.67

$567 = 56,667cents

Monthly loan payment to nearest cent will be  56,667cents

EFF = (1 + r /n)^n - 1

r is the rate and n is the number of period per year which is 12months

%EFF = EAR = (1 + 0.06 /12)^ 12 - 1

%EFF = 1.005^12

%EFF = 1.061678 - 1

%EFF = 0.061678

%EFF = 6.17% to 2dp

​3 ​/​10 ​​ = ​9 /​k ​​ what is k
NemiM [27]
In order to isolate k, we would first cross multiply
3*k=9*10
3k=90

Then to isolate k, we would divide both sides by 3 to get:
K=30

Hope this helps

The answer would be 54. Because you start with 2.
2x3 = 6

18x3 = 54
Each month it triples so you continue
