Well... hmmm so.. for 500 bucks you only pay a rate of say "r", and it comes down to only 28cents, or $0.28.
If 500 is say the 100%, what percentage is 0.28?

now, we're assuming the company is charging and APR, so you pay that at the end of the year. We're also assuming the year is only 360 days.
so, if you borrow 1959 on simple interest for 251 days out of 360 days, how much are you repaying?

and surely you can do that one... which is just 1959 and a few pennies.
Answer: d, p = 0.4493
Step-by-step explanation: this question is solved using a possion probability distribution because the event is occurring at a fixed rate.
For this question of ours the fixed rate is the fact that 12 customers visiting the shop within 15 minutes.
For this question our fixed rate (u) = 12/15 = 0.8
The probability distribution for possion is given as
P(x=r) = (e^-u * u^r) / r!
At this point x = 0 ( no customers coming to the shop)
P(x=0) =( e^-0.8 * 0.8^0)/ 0!
P(x=0) = (e^-0.8 * 1)/1
P(x=0) = e^-0.8
P(x=0) = 0.4493
The lengths of the rectangles are 7 and 12 respectively. Form the ratio 7/12. The widths of the rects. are x and 5 respectively. Form the ratio x/5. Now equate these two ratios:
7 x
--- = ---
12 5
Solve this for x. One way to do this would be to cross-multiply, obtaining 12x = 35, and solving this result for x. x will be a fraction. Write the numerator and denominator in the boxes given.
