Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the basic simple interest formula:
P * r * t = I and put the info into a table with those variables along the top, formig the columns we need:
P * r * t = I
Acct 1
Acct 2
If we have a total of 1500 to split up between 2 accounts, we put x amount of money into one and then have 1500-x left to put into the other. We will fill those in along with the interest rates in decimal form and the time of 1 year:
P * r * t = I
Acct 1 x .04 1
Acct 2 1500-x .05 1
Looking at the formula we are told that Prt = I, so we will multiply P times r times t and fill in the I column:
P * r * t - I
Acct 1 x .04 1 .04x
Acct 2 1500-x .05 1 .05(1500-x)
The total Interest earned by the addition of the interest earned from both accounts is 69.50. So we add the interest column together and set it equal to 69.50:
.04x + .05(1500 - x) = 69.50 and
.04x + 75 - .05x = 69.50 and
-.01x = -5.5 so
x = 550
That's how much money is in the account earning 4% interest.
Answer:
x = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
18 + 0.5x = 12 +0.75 x
18 - 12 = 0.75 x - 0.5x
6 = 0.25 x
24 = x
Answer:
c. 3680
Step-by-step explanation:
In 2010, the population was 8000.
In 2014, it increased by 15%.
Population in 2014 :
= 8000 + 15/100×8000
= 8000 + 1200
= 9200.
Now, 2/5 of the population was age 12 or under.
= 2/5 × 9200
= 2×1840
= 3680
Answer - c) 3680
(Change)/(original) *100
.05/2.87 *100
1.7%
