15% of 40 = 6 so I’m guessing it would be 6
<em><u>Explanation</u></em>:
On the left hand side of the place value chart, 20 hundreds is equal to 2 thousands because thousands is larger than hundreds. 2 thousands is 2(1000)=2000. 20 hundreds is 20(100)=2000. They are the same number.
However, on the right hand side of the place value chart, hundredths is larger than thousandths. To say that 20 hundredths is the same as 2 thousandths is incorrect, because you're saying more of a larger quantity is the same as less of a smaller quantity.
Hundredths are two places after the decimal, and have a value of 0.01. 20 hundredths is 20(0.01) = 0.2.
Thousandths are three places after the decimal and have a value of 0.001. 2 thousandths is 2(0.001) = 0.002.
We can write 0.2 as 0.200; this way we can see that 0.200 is larger than 0.002. They are not equal.
S----------M----------R
M is the midpoint. We need to find the x and y coordinates for R.
SEE picture. The answer is (4,3).
The simple interest formula allows us to calculate I, which is the interest earned or charged on a loan. According to this formula, the amount of interest is given by I = Prt, where P is the principal, r is the annual interest rate in decimal form, and t is the loan period expressed in years. The rate r must be converted from a percentage into decimal form.
Then, 2,000 = 1,000 * r * 10 ;
Finally, r = 2 ÷ 10 = 20 ÷ 100 = 0.2
hope this helps you
