What is the principal which would amount to $6900 in 3 years at 5% simple interest per annum?

balu736 [363]

Answer:

$6000

Step-by-step explanation:

accumulated amount = A = PI

A = $6900

Let P = x

6900 - I = x

I = (x)(0.05)(3yrs) = 0.15x

6900 - 0.15x = x

Add

6900 = 1.15x

Divide, solve for x

x = 6000

PLEASE HELP ME!

Answer:

76.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the proportion

$\frac{120}{100}$ → Percent is out of 100

$\frac{120}{100}$ = $\frac{n}{64}$ ( cross- multiply )

100n = 7680 ( divide both sides by 100 )

n = 76.8

Can any math genius help me with this

Here's my working for 1) You need to find the exterior angle, then divide by 360 to find the number of sides:

Applying these steps : 

180 (Interior Angles) - 162 = 18 (Exterior angle)

360 ÷ 18 is 20 sides 

For 2)

Its the same method, so apply the steps:

180 - 175 = 5

360 ÷ 5 = 72 sides 

Hope it helps! :)

Assume the cost of a car is $25,000. With continuous compounding, in effect, the cost of the care will increase according to the

Masja [62]

The value of t that makes the factor e^(.032t) have the value of 2 can be found using logarithms.
2 = e^(0.032t)
ln(2) = ln(e^(0.032t)) = 0.032t
t = ln(2)/0.032 ≈ 21.66

It would take 21.66 years for the cost to double.
