Hello There!
-What We Know-
Erin made 66 deviled eggs for a party.
After an hour 8 eggs were left.
X amount of eggs were eaten within the first hour.
——————————————————————————
We subtract 8 eggs how many were left after the hour
From how many eggs we had in total.
66-8=58.
58 eggs were eaten within the hour.
18 min per pound
324 min. = X
______ _____
18 1 pound
324 x 1 = 324 324/18= 18 pounds
Cross multiply then divide as above.
<h3>The interest rate is 8 % if your balance on an investment of 857 dollars at the end of six years is 1268.36 dollars</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
Principal = $ 857
Amount = $ 1268.36
Number of years = 6
Rate of interest = ?
Simple Interest = Amount - principal
Simple Interest = 1268.36 - 857
Simple Interest = 411.36
<em><u>Use the formula,</u></em>

Thus the interest rate is 8 %
