After 9 months, the simple interest earned on an investment of $1200 is $72. find the interest rate.

1 answer:

7 0

Use the formula i=prt, where i is the interest earned, p is the principal, r is the rate (as a decimal fraction) and t is the elapsed time, in years.

Here i = $72 = $1200 r (9/12) (9 months is 9/12, or 3/4, of 1 year)
Reducing,
$72 = $900r
Solving for r, r=0.08, or 8 percent per year.

Answer: Choice C

$\begin{array}{|c|c|} \cline{1-2}x & y\\\cline{1-2}0 & 1\\\cline{1-2}2 & 2\\\cline{1-2}4 & 3\\\cline{1-2}6 & 4\\\cline{1-2}\end{array}$

=========================================================

Explanation:

There are four marked points on the line.

Each point is of the form (x,y)

The first or left most point is (0,1)
The second point is (2,2)
The third is (4,3)
The fourth is (6,4)

Each of these points is then listed in the table format as shown above.

There are infinitely many other points on the line; however, we only select a few of them to make the table (or else we'd be here all day).

Extra side notes:

The slope of this line is m = 1/2 = 0.5
The y intercept is 1 located at (0,1)
The equation of this line is y = 0.5x+1
