When ever you have percentages, it should be helpful to bear in mind you can express them as multipliers. In this case, it will be helpful.
So, if we let:
a = test score
b = target score
then, using the information given:
a = 1.1b + 1
a = 1.15b - 3
and we get simultaneous equations.
'1.1' and '1.15' are the multipliers that I got using the percentages. Multiplying a value by 1.1 is the equivalent of increasing the value by 10%. If you multiplied it by 0.1 (which is the same as dividing by 10), you would get just 10% of the value.
Back to the simultaneous equations, we can just solve them now:
There are a number of ways to do this but I will use my preferred method:
Rearrange to express in terms of b:
a = 1.1b + 1
then b = (a - 1)/1.1
a = 1.15b - 3
then b = (a + 3)/1.15
Since they are both equal to b, they are of the same value so we can set them equal to each other and solve for a:
(a - 1)/1.1 = (a + 3)/1.15
1.15 * (a - 1) = 1.1 * (a + 3)
1.15a - 1.15 = 1.1a + 3.3
0.05a = 4.45
a = 89
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = - 3x + 4 is in this form
with y- intercept c = 4 → A
Answer
A: $28,000
B: 15 years
Step-by-step explanation:
A: Since $25,000 is deposited in the bank and you earn 4% interest annually over 3 years you would earn 12% interest. 12% of 25,000 is 3,000. The sum of 25,000 and 3,000 is 28,000 having you earn $28,000 over 3 years.
B: Since every year you earn 4% annual interest and you have $25,000 deposited in the bank you have to find what percentage of 25,000 equals 15,000. Since 25,000 isn't exactly easy to find multiply it by 4. That leaves you with 100,000 which we know you don't have in the bank but it will make it easier to find the percentage. You will also have to multiply 15,000 by 4 giving you 60,000. Now divide the 60,000 by 1,000 which equals 60. What's the point of the number 60? Well, that's the percentage it takes. Now divide 60 by the annual interest which is 4 and that gives you 15. 15 is the number of years it will take for the balance to reach $40,000.
Hope this helps!
