Answer:

$6,300

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Find the Cost Price of the books

A trader purchased 1,000 books at the rate of $5.40 per book

This is calculated as:

If 1 book = $5.40

1000 books = ???

We cross multiply

1000 books × $5.40

= $5,400

He bought 1000 books for $5,400

His total cost price = Transportation + Cost of books

Transportation = $200

Cost price = $5,400 + $200

= $5,600

Step 2

Find the profit he made from the sale of the books

Percentage profit = Profit / Cost price × 100

Percentage profit = 12.5%

Cost price = $5,600

We have :

12.5 = Profit/ $5,600 × 100

12.5 = (100 × Profit)/ $5,600

Cross multiply

12.5 × $5,600 = 100 × Profit

Divide both sides by 100

(12.5 × $5,600) ÷ 100 = Profit

Profit = $700.

Step 3

Find the selling price

The Formula to calculate Selling Price is given as:

Selling price = Cost Price + Profit

Selling price = $5,600 + $700

Selling price = $6,300

Chaney deposits $1435.73 into a savings account that pays a simple annual interest rate of 1.32%. How much interest will she ear
Aneli [31]

Answer:

Interest Chaney earns after 3 years is  $56.85

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount deposited = $1435.73

Simple annual interest rate = 1.32% = 1.32/ 100 = 0.0132

To find: Interest after 3 years

We know that the formula to calculate the interest amount is

Simple interest (S.I.) = \frac{Prt}{100}

where,

P is the initial amount deposited

r is the rate of simple interest in percentage

t is the time in years for which interest is to be calculated

Substituting the known values in the formula, we get

S.I = \frac{1435.73 x 1.32 x 3}{100}

    = 56.85

Hence the interest Chaney earns after 3 years is  $56.85
