Answer:

4%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Ethan invested £500 in the bank for 2 years. He earned £40 simple interest in total. We are asked to find the annual interest rate.

We will use simple interest formula to solve our given problem.

I=Prt, where,

I = Amount of interest,

P = Principal amount,

r = Annual interest rate in decimal form,

t = Time in years.

Upon substituting our given values in above formula, we will get:

40=500*r*2

40=1000*r

Now, we will divide both sides of our given equation by 100.

\frac{40}{1000}=\frac{1000*r}{1000}

\frac{4}{100}=r

\frac{1}{25}=r

0.04=r

Since our given interest rate is in decimal form, so we need to convert it in percentage.

0.04\times 100\%=4\%

Therefore, the simple interest rate per annum is 4%.

The formula is
I=prt
I interest earned 40
P principle 500
R interest rate?
T time 2 years
Solve the formula for r by dividing both sides by pt to get
R=I/pt
R=40÷(500×2)
R=0.04×100
R=4%

Hope it helps!

Let b and s be the velocity of the boat and stream respectively....

3(b-s)=27

b-s=9

b=9+s  we will use this in the second equation....

2(b+s)=30

b+s=15, now use b found above in this to get:

9+s+s=15

2s+9=15

2s=6

s=3, and since from earlier b-s=9, b=9+s so

b=12

So the speed of the boat is 12mph and the stream is 3 mph
