Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

y varies inversely as x

y = k × 1/x. {where k is a constant}

when y = 3, x = 8

Therefore 3 = k/8 and k is 24

y = 24/x

When y = 4,

4 = 24/x

4x = 24

(dividing both sides by 4)

x = 6

You want to put $2,500 in a simple interest account.It has a 4% annual interest rate.How long will it take you to earn $200 in i

prohojiy [21]

It will take 2 years.

Year 1 :
4% 2.5k = 2.5k/100 × 4 = $100 in interest

$2.5k + $0.1k = $2.6k

Year 2 :
4% 2.6k = 2.6k/100 × 4 = $104 in interest

$100 + $104 = $204 > $200

There may be a simpler way to solve this using a formula for example, but I just solved this step by step. Please feel free to ask if you have any questions
