Raylan opened a savings account with $100. After 5 years there is $122. 50 in the account. What is his simple interest rate?
serious [3.7K]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

4.5% annually

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Simple interest is the amount of interest added to a singular sum of money at a fixed rate.

Formula

The formula for simple interest is A = P(1+rt). In this formula, A is the total amount of money in the account, P is the original amount deposited, r is the rate of interest as a decimal, and t is the time in years.

Calculations

To find the rate, plug the information we know into the formula above

  • 122.50 = 100(1+r*5)

Divide both sides by 100

  • 1.225 = 1 + r*5

Subtract 1 from both sides

  • 0.225 = r*5

Divide both sides by 5

  • 0.045 = r

This gives us the rate as a decimal. So, to find the rate as a percent. Do this by moving the decimal 2 places to the right (or just multiply by 100, they do the same thing). This means that the rate of simple interest is 4.5%.

En red socks and ten blue socks are all mixed up in a dresser drawer. The 20 socks are exactly alike except for their colour. Th
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

3 socks

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, there are 10 red socks and 10 blue socks which are mixed up in the dresser drawer.

The socks are identical except the color.

We need to find out, the minimum number of socks to be taken out from the dark room so that there is at least a pair of matching socks comes out of the drawer.

Let us consider the cases:

First Two socks pulled out of the drawer.

Case 1: Both are red or both are blue.

In this case, the matching pair is ready.

But there can be other case as well.

Case 2:

One red and one blue color taken out.

Now, when we pull the third, there will be either red or blue.

That will make a pair.

Therefore, to cover up all the cases and to be certain to get a matching pair out of the drawer, <em>at least 3 socks must be taken out</em>.

So, the answer is:

We need to take out at least 3 socks.
