This is what I put in my response
For me I thought that algebra was better. I loved algebra I mean math is math somethings in math are hard, somethings are easy, sometimes in math you will come across something that seems impossible. Sometimes you will fly thru but, what makes the journey bearable is the people around you. Why I think algebra is better is because of the people that were in math course with me and my teacher because. The teachers make all the difference.
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:
The amount of interest payable after 6 months is $28.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, the Principal amount borrowed = $400
Rate of Interest = 14%
Time = 6 months = 6 / 12 years = 0.5 year
Now, SIMPLE INTEREST = 
So, here SI = 
or, SI = $28
Hence, the amount of interest payable after 6 months is $28.
