Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
40
Discussion:
A diagram is always appreciated!
Assuming that
mAOC = mAOB + mBOC =>
108 = (3x + 4) + (8x - 28) => combine common terms
108 = (3x + 8x) + (4 - 28 ) =>
108 = 11x - 24 => add 24 to both sides
132 = 11x =>
x = 132/11 = 12
So mAOB = 3x + 4 = 3(12) + 4 = 36 + 4 = 40
Thank you,
MrB
Principal is the same as original amount.
<span>1. You convert the rate % to a decimal number. (divide by 100) </span>
<span>2. Substitute: </span>
<span>P = 144 / (.04 x 2) </span>
<span>3. Solve: </span>
<span>P = 144 / .08 </span>
<span>P = 1,800 </span>
<span>4. Your answer is $1,800</span>
the airplane new altitude is 17500
20000-2500=17500
