Answer:

Time = 6 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Data;

Simple interest = $507.50

Principal = $290

Rate = 12.5% = 12.5/100 = 0.125

Time = ?

To solve this question, we'll need to use the formula for simple interest

S.I = PRT / 100

S.I = P(1 + RT)

S.I = simple interest

P = principal

R = rate

T = time

S.I = P(1 + RT)

507.50 = 290(1 + 0.125*T)

507.50 = (290 × 1) + (290 * 0.125T)

507.50 = 290 + 36.25T

Solve for T

36.25T = 507.50 - 290

36.25T = 217.50

T = 217.50 / 36.25

T = 6

The time tenure on the loan was 6 years

What is the value of q?

skad [1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔSQR and ΔTSR are similar. Therefore the sides are in proportion:

$\dfrac{SR}{QR}=\dfrac{TR}{SR}$

We have:

SR = q

QR = 10 + 4 = 14

TR = 4

Substitute:

$\dfrac{q}{14}=\dfrac{4}{q}$ <em>cross multiply</em>

$(q)(q)=(14)(4)\\\\q^2=56\to q=\sqrt{56}\\\\q=\sqrt{4\cdot14}\\\\q=\sqrt4\cdot\sqrt{14}\\\\q=2\sqrt{14}$

A corner store sells two kinds of baked goods: cakes and pies. A cake costs $4 and a pie costs $6. In one day, the store sold 9

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

the number of cakes sell is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of cakes sold is shown below;

Let us assume

The cake be C

And, the pie cost be P

Given that

There is two types of baked goods sold

The cost of the cake is $4

And, the cost of the pie cost is $64

Now the store sold 9 baked goods for a total of $44

So, the equation would be

C + P = 9

P = 9 - C ...... (1)

4C + 6P = 44............(2)

Now put the value of P in equation 2

4C + 6(9 - C) = 44

4C + 54 - 6C = 44

-2C = -10

C = 5

And, P = 4

hence, the number of cakes sell is 5

Solve two sevenths times four sixths . (2 points) Group of answer choices six forty seconds eight forty seconds six thirteenths

Maksim231197 [3]

Given:

The statement is "two sevenths times four sixths".

To find:

The value of the product.

Solution:

Two sevenths times four sixths can be written as:

$\dfrac{2}{7}\times \dfrac{4}{6}$

It can be rewritten as:

$\dfrac{2}{7}\times \dfrac{4}{6}=\dfrac{2\times 4}{7\times 6}$

$\dfrac{2}{7}\times \dfrac{4}{6}=\dfrac{8}{42}$

The answer of given expression is eight forty seconds.

Therefore, the correct option is B.
