Safiya deposited money into a bank account that earned 6.5% simple interest each year. After 312 years, she had earned $36.40 in

Svetllana [295]

Answer: If the time is 3 1/2 years (most reasonable assumption)

Her initial deposit was $160

Step-by-step explanation: The basic formula for simple interest is

<em>i = prt i </em>is interest, P is principal (deposit) r is the percentage (converted to a decimal) and t is time, the number of years.

For this question, you have to rearrange the equation to solve for p.

So divide both sides by rt and you have

p = i/rt

Substitute the values given

p = 36.40/(0.065)(3.5)

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

The probability that a student is proficient in mathematics, but not in reading is, 0.10.

The probability that a student is proficient in reading, but not in mathematics is, 0.17

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define the events:

L: The student is proficient in reading

M: The student is proficient in math

The probabilities are given by:

$P (L) = 0.81\\P (M) = 0.74\\P (L\bigcap M) = 0.64$

$P (M\bigcap L^c) = P (M) - P (M\bigcap L) = 0.74 - 0.64 = 0.1\\P (M^c\bigcap L) = P (L) - P (M\bigcap L) = 0.81 - 0.64 = 0.17$

The probability that a student is proficient in mathematics, but not in reading is, 0.10.

The probability that a student is proficient in reading, but not in mathematics is, 0.17

Jamie received £26 pocket money last week. He spent it as follows: 10% on sweets, 25% on magazines 15% on games How much did Jam

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Total money left with Jamie = £13

Step-by-step explanation:

Jamie received pocket money = £26

He spent on sweets = 10% of total pocket money

Expense on magazines = 25% of the total money

Expense on games = 15% of the pocket money

Total expenditure on sweets, magazines and games = $\frac{10}{100}+\frac{25}{100}+\frac{15}{100}$

= $\frac{50}{100}$ Or 50% of the pocket money he received

Therefore, money left with Jamie = 50% of total money he received as pocket money

= $\frac{50}{100}\times 26$

= £13
