If we're talking in whole numbers, the only multiplication of whole numbers that equals two is
2 * 1
or
-2 * -1
Let
M---------------> money borrowed -------------> <span>$9,850
r--------------> </span>discounted rate--------> <span>9 ¼=9.25-------> 0.0925
t---------------> time--------> </span><span>9 months=9*30=270 days
D-------------> </span><span>amount of the discount
we know that
D=M*r*t/360=(9850)*(0.0925)*(270/360)=683.34
the answer is $683.34</span>
Think of it this way. Let's say t= one. 1+8 is 9. Your answer is 9t. Think of a variable without a number as one.
From the chord theorem we know that:

so:

Answer C.
