Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A man is now 3 times as old as his son.

m = 3s

In 10 years time, the sum of their ages will be 76

(m + 10) + (s + 10) = 76

Subsitute for m = 3s

(3s + 10) + (s + 10) = 76

4s + 20 = 76

4s = 56

s = 14

m = 3s = 14 * 3

m = 42

------------------------

How old was the man when his son was born?

m - s = 42 - 14

m - s = 28

Sami's bank account earns 4% simple interest per year. If Sami deposits $500, how much simple interest will she earn in one year

timurjin [86]

Answer:

$20 simple interest.

Step-by-step explanation:

The simple interest that Sami earns is 4% of her deposit since she is trying to find how much she will earn in one year (given that the interest rate is 4% per annum).

$\$500\times4\%=\$20$

∴ Sami earns $20 simple interest in one year.

Hope this helps :)

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle:

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$

(h, k) - center

r - radius

We have the equation:

$x^2+(y-4)^2=25\\\\(x-0)^2+(y-4)^2=5^2$

h = 0, k = 4, r = 5
