The interest rate is 7.69%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Interest = $200

Time = t = 30 months

Time will be converted into years as the rate is applied yearly

So,

1 year = 12 months

30 months = 30/12 years = 2.5 years

Principal amount = $1040

The formula for interest is:

$I = P*r*t$

Putting the values

$200 = 1040 * r * 2.5\\200 = 2600r\\r = \frac{200}{2600}\\r = 0.076923$

Converting into percentage:

r = 7.6923

Rounding off to nearest hundredth

r = 7.69%

Hence,

The interest rate is 7.69%

6 multiplication problems that ar involved in the solving of 325×89

gogolik [260]

325*89.1

Let's decompose this into:

325 = 300 + 25

89.1 = 80 + 9 + 0.1

Then we have the multiplication:

(300 + 25)*(80 + 9 + 0.1)

Let's distribute the multiplication:

300*80 + 300*9 + 300*0.1 + 25*80 + 25*9 + 25*0.1

So now we have 6 multiplications that are a lot easier to solve than the initial one that we had.

Then the list of six multiplications involved in solving this problem are:

300*80 = 24,400

300*9 = 2,700

300*0.1 = 30

25*80 = 2,000

25*9 = 225

25*0.1 = 2.5

Now we add all of those and get:

325*89.1 = 24,400 + 2,700 + 30 + 2,000 + 225 + 2.5 = 28,957.5
