Answer:
Option "B" is the correct answer to the following question.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Rate of annual interest = 0.85%
Find
Value of 0.85% in decimal
Computation:
To convert any percent number into a decimal, we have to divide that number by 100.
So,
Value of 0.85% in decimal = ![\frac{0.85}{100}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B0.85%7D%7B100%7D)
Value of 0.85% in decimal = 0.0085
Note: We have to eliminate the percent symbol from the given number.
Answer: ![\bold{\dfrac{1}{2}(a-b)}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbold%7B%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%28a-b%29%7D)
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
"half" means ![\dfrac{1}{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D)
"of" means multiply
"difference" means subtract
half of the <u>difference</u> between a <u>and</u> b
× ( a - b )
![\large\boxed{\dfrac{1}{2}(a-b)}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Clarge%5Cboxed%7B%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%28a-b%29%7D)
0.072 rounded to the nearest whole number is... 0
The number is not 0.5 or greater, and so it will not be able to get to 1
hope this helps
You are right with multiplying 100 and 3. An easier way to do it is to divide 300 and 4, so you can get the blank.
