16

Explanation:

Okay so Jack started with 50 chocolates, and ended with 2. 
The simple way to calculate it would be by realising that Jack only distributed 48 chocolates. We can find how many times 3 fits into 48 by dividing <span>48÷3=16</span>.

Using algebra, we substitute the value we want to find with x. Here what we want to find is the number of friends that were at Jack's party.

We know that he started with 50 chocolates, then distributed <span>3×</span> the number of friends present (which is x). 
We write that down as <span>50−3x</span> 
(It's minus because when chocolates are distributed, Jack is taking away from what he has.)

We know that after this, there were only 2 chocolates left, so it's 
<span>50−3x=2</span>

Then we proceed by moving all the numbers to the right until only x is left:

<span>−3x=2−50</span>
<span>−3x=−48</span>

<span>x=<span><span>−48</span><span>−3</span></span></span>

<span>x=16</span>

Conclusion: The number of people that attended the party was 16

7. A man makes a simple discount note for $6,200, at an ordinary bank discount rate of 8.84%, for 40 days. What is the effective
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

The effective interest rate, rounded to the nearest tenth, is 0.1%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The banker's rule is the simple interest formula.

The simple interest formula is given by:

E = P*I*t

In which E are the earnings, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly) and t is the time, in years.

The effective interest rate is given by the following formula:

E_{IR} = \frac{E}{P}.

In this problem, we have that:

A man makes a simple discount note for $6,200, at an ordinary bank discount rate of 8.84%, for 40 days. We consider that the year has 360 days. This means that P = 6200, I = 0.0884, t = \frac{40}{360} = \frac{1}{9}.

So

E = 6200*0.0884*\frac{1}{9} = 60.9

The effective interest rate is

E_{IR} = \frac{E}{P} = \frac{60.9}{6200} = 0.0098 = 0.001

The effective interest rate, rounded to the nearest tenth, is 0.1%.
