Its 12 because you do 10.5/21=x/24
This question is about compound interest, but since the interest is such a small number you can use what you know about simple interest to eliminate some answers.
You can immediately eliminate choice A as a clunker, since it is less than the original amount in the account.
Consider what the amount of interest would be if you make the rate much larger than the original rate, say 10%, or 0.1:
$6,500 × 0.1 = $650
If this amount were added to the original amount each year for two years, the total would be:
$6,500 + $650 + $650 = $6,500 + $1,300 = $7,800
This is an over-estimate for the information given, and since choices C and D are even greater than this over-estimate, they can be eliminated. That means choice B is the correct answer.
Given, y varies directly as x
So,
Where c is a constant
When y equals 5 when x is 8
So,
So, the relation between y and x
now , when x = 9
Substitute with x to find y
So, the answer is option 2. y = 45/8
Area is base multiplied by height, so to get the answer you'd need to multiply 6.5 and 4
First you have to subtract 3x and then divide everything by -4 to get y=3/4x-7
