last year : admitted 1/3 more.....1440 + 1/3(1440) = 1440 + 480 = 1920 admitted
this year : admitted 62.5% more.....1920(1.625) = 3120 admitted <==

After 10 months the simple interest of a 6,000 investment was $769. What is the interest rate
slega [8]

Answer:

Interest rate ( <em>r </em>) = 15.38% or 0.1538

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the principal (P) = $6,000, and the simple interest of $769 earned after 10 months:

We can determine the interest rate (<em>r</em> ) by creating its formula algebraically, then use the equation to solve for its value.  

Using the simple interest formula,  

<em>I </em>=<em> P </em>× <em>r </em>×<em> t </em>

where:

I = interest amount = $769

P = present value of the principal = $6,000

r = interest rate

t = time  = 10/12 (10 months out of 12 months) = 0.83333

I = P × r × t

Divide both sides by P × t:

I / ( P × t ) = P × t × r / ( P × t )

I / ( P × t ) = r

Therefore, the formula for the interest rate is:<em> </em><em>r</em> = <em>I</em> / ( <em>P</em> × <em>t</em> )

Substitute the given values into the formula to solve for r:

r = I / ( P × t )

r = $769 / ($6,000 × 0.83333)

r = $769/ 4,999.99999

r = 0.1538 or 15.38%

Identify the type of triangle by looking at the sum of the angle
Blizzard [7]
I believe it is an obtuse triangle. Because one triangle is so big there isn’t any 90 degrees and therefor not a right. It might be acute but it had an obtuse side.

Identify the Y intercept of the the equation 5x+8y =120
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

(0,15)

Step-by-step explanation:

The Y-intercept is when X=0, so plug in x=0 into the given equation. 5(0)+8y=120. Now solve for Y. 8y=120, y=15. So When x=0, y=15: this is the coordinate (0,15).
