Answer:
x=0.87 or 86.67%
13 prescription claims out of 15 are paid
Step-by-step explanation:
First we organize the data:
prescription claims submitted: 4500
Prescriptions: 3900
The rate of claims paid is calculated using the following formula:

We know that:
Paid = 3900
Total = 4500
So



x=0.87
Well 2 years is 24 months. 24 divided by 4 is 6. 200 multiplied by 6 would equal 1200.
The total population of crickets after two years would be 1200.
a = amount invested at 5%
b = amount invested at 2%
now, we know the total invested by Mr Wilson was 20000, so whatever "a" and "b" might be, we know that a + b = 20000.
![a + b = 20000\implies b = 20000-a \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{5\% of a}}{\left( \cfrac{5}{100} \right)a}\implies 0.05a~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{2\% of b}}{\left( \cfrac{2}{100} \right)a}\implies \begin{array}{llll} 0.02b\\\\ \stackrel{substituting}{0.02(20000-a)} \end{array}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=a%20%2B%20b%20%3D%2020000%5Cimplies%20b%20%3D%2020000-a%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5B-0.35em%5D%20~%5Cdotfill%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%5Cstackrel%7B%5Ctextit%7B5%5C%25%20of%20a%7D%7D%7B%5Cleft%28%20%5Ccfrac%7B5%7D%7B100%7D%20%5Cright%29a%7D%5Cimplies%200.05a~%5Chfill%20%5Cstackrel%7B%5Ctextit%7B2%5C%25%20of%20b%7D%7D%7B%5Cleft%28%20%5Ccfrac%7B2%7D%7B100%7D%20%5Cright%29a%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bllll%7D%200.02b%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%5Cstackrel%7Bsubstituting%7D%7B0.02%2820000-a%29%7D%20%5Cend%7Barray%7D)
now, we know the total of earned interest is 550 bucks, so then

Answer:
1 year= $280
Step-by-step explanation:
30% of 400= 0.3 * 400= 120
400-120= 280
after one year the playstation cost 280
30% of 280= 0.3 * 280= 84
280-84= 196
after 2 years it cost $196
multiply the number by 0.3 to get 30% of the total
