The percentage increase is 50% because 3/2=1.5
1.5-1=0.5 (1 is the same as saying the original 100%)
0.5 as a percentage is 50%

Hope this helps :)

Kim took out a $55,000 loan for college. She is borrowing money from two banks. Bank A charges an interest rate of 8%, and Bank

stellarik [79]

Kim's Loan:
Let A = amount borrowed from bank A.
Let B = amount borrowed from bank B.

The total loan is $55,000.
Therefore
A + B = 55000 (1)

Bank A charges 8% interest. The interest after 1 year is 0.08A.
Bank B charges 11% interest. The interest after 1 year is 0.11B.
Total interest after 1 year is $5,000.
Therefore
0.08A + 0.11B = 5000 (2)

From (1), obtain
B = 55000 - A (3)

Substitute (3) into (2).
0.08A + 0.11(55000 - A) = 5000
0.08A + 6050 - 0.11A = 5000
-0.03A = -1050
A = -1050/-0.03 = 35000

Answer: Kim borrowed $35,000 from bank A.

Jack's Loan.
A = loan from bank A.
B = loan from bank B.
The total loan is $10,000.
Therefore
A + B = 10000 (4)

Bank A charges 5% interest and bank B charges 6% interest.
Total interest after 1 year is $530, therefore
0.05A + 0.06B = 530 (5)

From (4), obtain
B = 10000 - A (6)

Substitute (6) into (5).
0.05A + 0.06(10000 - A) = 530
0.05A + 600 - 0.06A = 530
-0.01A = -70
A = -70/-0.01 = 7000

Answer: Jack borrowed $7,000 from bank A.

The table shows a linear function. <br><br> Which equation represents the function.

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{f(x)=\dfrac{3}{2}x-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{The slope-intercept formula:}\\\\y=mx+b\\\\m\ -\ slope\\b\ -\ y-intercept\\\\\text{The formula of a slope:}\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\text{From the table we hve two points (0, -1) and (2, 2). Substitute:}\\\\m=\dfrac{2-(-1)}{2-0}=\dfrac{3}{2}$

$\text{Therefore the equation is}\ f(x)=\dfrac{3}{2}x-1\\\\\text{Check for the point (4, 5):}\\\\f(4)=\dfrac{3}{2}(4)-1=(3)(2)-1=6-1=5\qquad\ CORRECT$
