What number is 32% of 1,000

Jlenok [28]

It is 320 because if you divide 1000 by 10, you would get 100 (which would be equal to 10% of 1000) So if you multiply 100x3=300. then, 2% of 100 is 20, so you add that to 300 then you 320

if Dakota earned $15.75 in interest in account A and $28.00 in interest in account B after 21 months. if the simple interest rat

NISA [10]

keeping in mind that 21 months is more than a year, since there are 12 months in a year, then 21 months is really 21/12 years.

$\bf ~~~~~~ \stackrel{\textit{account A}}{\textit{Simple Interest Earned}} \\\\ I = Prt\qquad \begin{cases} I=\textit{interest earned}\dotfill &15.75\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill \\ r=rate\to 3\%\to \frac{3}{100}\dotfill &0.03\\ t=years\to \frac{21}{12}\dotfill &\frac{7}{4} \end{cases} \\\\\\ 15.75=P(0.03)\left( \frac{7}{4} \right)\implies \cfrac{15.75}{(0.03)\left( \frac{7}{4} \right)}=P\implies \boxed{300=P}$

$\bf ~~~~~~ \stackrel{\textit{account B}}{\textit{Simple Interest Earned}} \\\\ I = Prt\qquad \begin{cases} I=\textit{interest earned}\dotfill &28\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill \\ r=rate\to 4.9\%\to \frac{4.9}{100}\dotfill &0.049\\ t=years\to \frac{21}{12}\dotfill &\frac{7}{4} \end{cases} \\\\\\ 28=P(0.049)\left( \frac{7}{4} \right)\implies \cfrac{28}{(0.049)\left( \frac{7}{4} \right)}=P\implies \boxed{326.53\approx P}$

so, clearly, you can see who's greater.

Answer:

35 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle is given to be a right angle by the red square. The right angle is intercepted by a line. One side of the whole 90 degree angle is said to be 55 degrees. Both sides should equal 90 degrees if added.

This means that to find the missing angle, you would subtract 55 degrees from 90 degrees to get 25 degrees.
