The interest earned in 5 years would be $270
<u>Explanation:</u>
Given:
Principal, P = $1800
Rate of interest, r = 3%
Time, t = 5 years
Simple interest, I = ?
We know,
On substituting the value we get
Therefore, interest earned in 5 years would be $270
9/50 is close to 10/50 or 1/5 or 0.2
7/15 is close to 7/14 or 1/2 or 0.5
0.2 + 0.5 = 0.7
0.7 is closer to 0.5 than 1
The answer would be B
Let's call the 13¢ stamps a and the 18¢ stamps b:
a+b = 42 and therefore a= 42-b (formula 1)
0.13a+0.18b= 6.66 In this formula, substitute the value of a according to formula 1:
0.13(42-b)+0.18b= 6.66 Multiply on the left to get rid of the parenthesis:
5.46-0.13b+0.18b= 6.66 Subtract 5.46 from both sides:
-0.13b+0.18b= 1.20 Add on the left:
0.05b= 1.20 Divide both sides by 0.05
b= 24 You have 24 18¢ stamps and:
42-24= 18 13¢ stamps
Check: (24 x 0.18) + (18 x 0.13)= 6.66 Correct.
