Answer:
B. 5 and 1/4 percent
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one:
given
principal= $2460
time= 3 and 1/2 years= 3.5 years
SI= $452
Required
The rate
Step two:
we know that
SI= PRT/100
substituting our data we have
452= 2460*R*3.5/100
452=8610R/100
cross multiply
452*100= 8610R
divide both sides by 8610
45200/8610= R
R= 5.25%
R= 5 and 1/4 percent
Let's use <em>j</em> to represent Jiri's age.
If Pamela is 6 years younger that Jiri, her age can be represented by <em>j - 6</em>.
Since the sum of their ages is 64, we can setup the equation j + (j - 6) = 64.
Simplifying on the left, we have 2j - 6 = 64.
Adding 6 to both sides, we have 2j = 70.
Dividing both sides by 2, we have j = 35.
So Jiri is 35 years old and Pamela is 6 years younger or 29 years old.
Each sheet is 14/45 mm, that works out to be 0.31mm, so yes it's thick enough.
