Given:
Rate of simple interest = 5%
Time = 4 years
Total interest = $160
To find:
The amount borrowed by Austin from a credit union.
Solution:
The formula for simple interest is:

Where, P is principal, r is the rate of interest and t is the number of years.
Putting
in the above formula, we get



Multiply both sides by 5.

Therefore, Austin borrowed $800 from a credit union for 4 years.
4 bicycles 2 tricycles
4 (bicycles)times 2(number of wheels on each bicycle) = 8
2 (bike) time 3 (number of wheels on each) = 6
8+6=14
Answer: A) x=6
Step-by-step explanation: my trick that i do with these questions are to just fill in the x's with the different choices that they give you.
so... first try out 6. fill in every x with a 6. so now, x isn't x anymore, it's 6.
(8-6)=2
9 times 2= 18
3 times 6= 18
this means that x would equal 6
if that first one doesn't work, try out the other ones. but this one works, so we know we have the right answer. i hope this helps with this problem, and i hope it helps with other problems like this too.
