Answer:

Principal in account A = $200

Principal in account B = $600

Account B earned more interest in the first month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two accounts:

<em>Account A:</em>

Time = 9 months = \frac{9}{12} years

Interest rate = 3.8%

Interest earned = $5.70

<em>Account B:</em>

Time = 27 months = \frac{27}{12} years

Interest rate = 2.4%

Interest earned = $32.40

To find:

Principal in each account.

Most interest earned in the first month?

Solution:

First of all, let us have a look at the formula for Simple Interest.

SI = \dfrac{P\times R\times T}{100}

Putting the values for Account A and finding the value of Principal:

5.70 = \dfrac{P_A \times 3.8\times 9}{100\times 12}\\\Rightarrow P_A = \dfrac{570\times 12}{3.8\times 9}\\\Rightarrow P_A=\$200

Now, Putting the values for Account B and finding the value of Principal:

32.40 = \dfrac{P_B \times 2.4\times 27}{100\times 12}\\\Rightarrow P_B = \dfrac{3240\times 12}{2.4\times 27}\\\Rightarrow P_B=\$600

Interest earned in one month i.e. \frac{1}{12} years:

Account A:

SI_A = \dfrac{200\times 3.8\times 1}{100\times 12}\\\Rightarrow SI_A = \$0.63

SI_B = \dfrac{600\times 2.4\times 1}{100\times 12}\\\Rightarrow SI_B = \$1.2

Account B earned more interest in the first month.

Therefore, the answers are:

Principal in account A = $200

Principal in account B = $600

<em>Account B</em> earned more interest in the first month.

What is a simplified expression for the perimeter of the polygon?
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

D. 5x^2 + 2y^2 + 12x + 5y

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 2y + y^2 + 6x + 2y + y^2 + 4x^2 + x^2 + y

6x + 6x = 12x

12x + 2y + y^2 + 2y  + y^2 + 4x^2 + x^2 + y

2y + 2y + y = 5y

12x + 5y + y^2 + y^2 + 4x^2 + x^2

y^2 + y^2 = 2y^2

2y^2 + 4x^2 + x^2 + 12x + 5y

4x^2 + x^2 = 5x^2

2y^2 + 5x^2  + 12x + 5y

5x^2 + 2y^2 + 12x + 5y
