24 pencils = 100%
30 pencils = ___%
30 - 24 = 6, so:

24 / 6 = 4 (it means that there are 4 sixes in 100%)
100% / 4 = 25%

Check: 25% * 24 = 25/100 * 24 = 1/4 * 24 = 6
30 - 6 = 24 (correct)
Answer: There was an increase by 25%

20 miles = 100%
11 miles = ___%
1 mile = 100% / 20 = 5%, so:

5 * 11 = 55 [percent]
100% - 55% = 45%

Check: 45% * 20 = 45/100 * 20 = 45/10 * 2 = 9/2 * 2 = 9
20 - 9 = 11 (correct)
Abswer: There was a decrease by 45%

Justin deposited $2,000 into an account 5 years ago. Simple interest was paid on the account. He has just withdrawn $2,876. What
sdas [7]

Answer: 8.76\%

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the final amount after getting simple interest :

A=P(1+rt), where P is the principal amount , r is rate of interest ( in decimal )and t is time(years).

Given : Justin deposited $2,000 into an account 5 years ago.

i.e. P = $2,000 and  t= 5 years

He has just withdrawn $2,876.

i.e. we assume that A = $2876

Now, Put all the values in the formula , we get

(2876)=(2000)(1+r(5))\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1+5r=\dfrac{2876}{2000}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1+5r=1.438\\\\\Righhtarrow\ 5r=0.438\\\\\Rightarrow\ r=\dfrac{0.438}{5}=0.0876

In percent, r=0.0876\times100=8.76\%

hence, He earned 8.76\% of interest on account.
