Hello! The formula for finding simple interest is prt. That means multiply the principal (initial amount) by the rate (percentage) by time (months or years). The principal is $893.78 and the interest rate is 2.2%. 893.78 * 2.2% (0.022) is 19.66316. Do not delete that number. The time is 7 years. Now multiply that number by 7 in order to get 137.64212 or $137.64 when rounded to the nearest whole hundredth. Now, let's add both numbers. 893.78 + 137.64 is 1,031.42. There. Alfred's balance after seven years is $1,031.42.
Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
cross multiply
5(x+3)=3(x+7)
5x+15=3x+21
5x+15-3x=3x+21-3x
2x+15=21
2x+15-15=21-15
2x=6
x=3
Let 'c' represent the number of pictures Chelsea took.
Let 's' represent the number of pictures Sonya took.
For last year's Thanksgiving, c + s = 236
For this year's Thanksgiving, let 'x' represent the number of photos taken in total. x = c + s, where c and s are two integers that are the same (c = s).
And we know that for both years, c + s + x = 500.
As we know that c + s is already 236 from last year, we can remove c + s from the equation in bold and replace it with 236 instead.
236 + x = 500.
Now we have to isolate the x term.
x = 500 - 236
x = 264.
We know that x = c + s, where c and s are the same, so we can just use one of the variables and double it (so you either get 2c or 2s - it doesn't matter which one you pick because they're both the same).
2c = 264
c = 132
c = s
s = 132.
Both took 132 pictures this year.
