Answer:

<em>$225</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Principal = $6,000

Interest rate = 5%

Time = 1 year

Taxes paid = 25% on the interest earned

To find:

Money earned after paying taxes ?

Solution:

First of all, let us calculate the total interest earned:

Formula for Simple Interest is given as:

SI =\dfrac{PRT}{100}

Where P is the principal

R is the rate of interest

T is the time taken

Putting the given values:

SI =\dfrac{6000 \times 5\times 1}{100} =\$300

Now, it is given that 25% of the interest earned is given as taxes.

Taxes paid = 25% of $300

\Rightarrow \dfrac{25}{100} \times 300 =\$75

Therefore, the money earned = Interest earned - Taxes paid

The money earned = $300 - $75 = <em>$225</em>

What does x equal? 3(x-7)=138+3x
Arturiano [62]
3(x-7) = 138 + 3x      First multiply
3x-21 = 138 + 3x      subtract 3x from both sides 
-21 = 138            

This is a false statement because -21 does not equal to 138 so the answer is no solution.
