The formula for simple interest is <em>I</em> = <em>prt</em>, where <em>I</em> is the amount of interest, <em>p</em> is the principal borrowed, <em>r</em> is the interest rate written as a decimal number, and <em>t</em> is the amount of time in years. First we find the amount of interest. He borrowed $35000 but paid back $46375. That means he paid 46375-35000 = $11375 in interest. We can now substitute our information into our interest formula:
11375=35000(<em>r</em>)(5)
11375=35000(5)(<em>r</em>) ----- remember that multiplication is commutative
11375=175000<em>r</em>
Divide both sides by 175000 to cancel it:
11375/175000 = 175000<em>r</em>/175000
0.065 = <em>r</em>
To convert this to a percentage, we multiply by 100:
0.065(100) = 6.5%

Parallel: Two sides or lines are parallel if they are lines that are always the same distance from each other and will never intersect or touch
Answer:
<em>Pool 1 leaks faster than pool 2.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Rates of change</u>
The rate of change (ROC) is a measure that compares two quantities, usually to know how fast one variable changes in time.
We are given two rates of change for two pools that are leaking. The first one loses 2/3 gallon in 15 minutes, and the other loses 3/4 gallon in 20 minutes.
To compare them, we are required to express time in hours. Recall one hour has 60 minutes, or equivalently, one minute has 1/60 hours. Converting both times, we have:
15 minutes = 15/60 = 1/4 hours
20 minutes = 20/60 = 1/3 hours
Now compute both rates of change:
Pool 1:
Pool 2:
Comparing both ratios, it's clear pool 1 leaks faster than pool 2.
