Answer:
0.08, or 8%
Step-by-step explanation:
The appropriate formula is i = p*r*t, where p is the principal, r is the interest rate as a decimal fraction, and t is the time in years.
We want to calculate r when i, p and t are known.
i
Solving i = p*r*t for r, we get r = ------------
p*t
The interest rate in this case is
$1600
r = ---------------- = 0.08, or 8%
$5000*4
Suppose the larger pump alone can empty the tank in L hours, and the smaller pump can finish the job in S hours, then each hour the large pump empties 1/L portion of the tank, and the small pump empties 1/S per hour
Working together for three hours, they empty the whole tank, which is 100% of it, so 3/L+3/S=100%=1
Larger pump can empty the tank in 4 hours less than the smaller one, so L=S-4
replace L: 3/(S-4)+3/S=1
Make the denominator the same to solve for:
3S/[S(S-4)] +3(S-4)/[S(S-4)]=1
(3S+3S-12)/[S(S-4)]=1
(3S+3S-12)=[S(S-4)]
S^2-10s+12=0
use the quadratic formula to solve for S
S is about 8.6
The answer is not whole hour.
The answers is x =3 , x= -10
