Make an equation system based on the problem
eg. a is the first number and b is the seond number
An equation for "<span>The sum of two numbers is 53" is
</span>⇒ a + b = 53
An equation for "<span>twice the first number minus three times the second number is 26"
</span>⇒ 2a - 3b = 26
<span>
Solve the equations by elimination and subtitution method
Eliminate a to find the value of b
a + b = 53   (multiplied by 2)
2a - 3b = 26
--------------------------------------
2a + 2b = 106
2a -  3b = 26
------------------- - (substract)
       5b = 80
         b = 80/5
         b = 16

Subtitute the value of b to one of the equations
a + b = 53
a + 16 = 53
a = 53 - 16
a = 37

The numbers are 16 and 37</span>

Answers:

  • interest = $75
  • balance at maturity = $3075

=============================================================

Explanation:

The simple interest formula is

i = p*r*t

where in this case,

  • p = 3000 = principal (amount deposited)
  • r = 0.10 = annual interest rate in decimal form
  • t = 3/12 = 0.25 = number of years

So,

i = p*r*t

i = 3000*0.10*0.25

i = 75 is the amount of interest earned

This adds onto the initial deposit to get the final balance when the CD matures (ie when you're able to withdraw the money without penalties)

The balance at maturity is p+i = 3000+75 = 3075 dollars

---------------

In short, you deposit $3000 into the CD and have to wait 3 months for the amount to update to $3075.
