2500 is 5% of 50000, I'm pretty sure of it.
Answer:
<em>Mrs. Adams will earn $3,120 of interest at the end of year 8.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Simple Interest</u>
In simple interest, the money earns interest at a fixed rate, assuming no new money is coming in or out of the account.
We can calculate the interests earned by an investment of value A in a period of time t, at an interest rate r with the formula:

Mrs. Adams deposited an amount of A=$12,000 into an account that earns an annual simple interest rate of r=3.25%. We must find the interest earned in t=8 years. The interest rate is converted to decimal as:

The interest is then calculated:

Mrs. Adams will earn $3,120 of interest at the end of year 8.
Answer:
b=-19
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that one of the solutions is x=-4/5
That is a solution to x. So if we plug in (-4/5) into the x in the equation, then it should equal 0.
5(-4/5)^2+b(4/5)+12=0
Now, just solve for b.
5(16/25)+b(4/5)+12=0
(16/5)+(4/5)b+12=0
(76/5)+(4/5)b=0
(4/5)b=-(76/5)
b=-19
310, since 4 is not up to 5, then 2 round off to 0
