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>

Help, I don't remember​

Answer:

  x = 144

Step-by-step explanation:

What you need to remember about this geometry is that all of the triangles are similar. As with any similar triangles, that means ratios of corresponding sides are proportional. Here, we can write the ratios of the long leg to the short leg and set them equal to find x.

  x/60 = 60/25

Multiply by 60 to find x:

  x = (60·60)/25

  x = 144

_____

<em>Comment on this geometry</em>

You may have noticed that the above equation can be written in the form ...

  60 = √(25x)

That is, the altitude from the hypotenuse (60) is equal to the geometric mean of the lengths into which it divides the hypotenuse (25 and x).

This same sort of "geometric mean" relation holds for other parts of this geometry, as well. The short leg of the largest triangle (the hypotenuse of the one with legs 25 and 60) is the geometric mean of the short hypotenuse segment (25) and the total hypotenuse (25+x).

And, the long leg of the large triangle (the hypotenuse of the one with legs 60 and x) is the geometric mean of the long hypotenuse segment (x) and the total hypotenuse (25+x).

While it can be a shortcut in some problems to remember these geometric mean relationships, you can always come up with what you need by simply remembering that the triangles are all similar.

Help me asap please!!!

Well, just by looking at the beginning of the problem, Jamelia had made the common mistake of thinking that 
\sqrt{72} (<span>8.4852...)
</span>is equal to 
2* \sqrt{36} (12)

If you want to estimate a square root like 72, simply find squares that would fit around the number you are looking to find, in our case, 72.

So 9*9 is 81, which is too high and 8*8 is 64, which is too low. So you know that somewhere between those numbers is what your root of 72 is!
