Hello

3 years. Since no mention of compounding was made I will assume that it's 3.5% simple interest. So first, let's calculate what percent of the entire loan was interest. Just a simply matter of division. 2625 / 25000 = 0.105 = 10.5% Now lets' divide the percentage of the loan that was paid in interest by the interest rate. 10.5% / 3.5% = 3 So the company took 3 years to repay the loan.
Have a nice day

Answer: The company repaid the money in 3 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to solve this problem we have to apply the simple interest formula:

I = P x r x t

where:

I = interest = $2625

P = Principal amount= $25,000

r = interes rate (decimal) = 3.5% = 3.5 / 100 = 0.035

t = time

So, mathematically speaking:

I = P x r x t

2625 = 25,000 x 0.035 x t

2625= 875 x t

2625 / 875 =t

3 years = t

In conclusion, the company repaid the money in 3 years.

Feel free to ask for more if it´s necessary or if you did not understand something.

Answer:

1. If we drink 8 glasses, we are drinking 2 L of water, so we are exceeding 1 L of water per day.

2. We need 100 sections.

I used metric conversion to convert km to meters.

3. 230 mL of lemonade per person

I used metric conversion to convert L to ML

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 250 mL = 1 glass

We are drinking 8 glasses

8 glasses * 250 ml/ 1 glass = 2000 mL

1 L = 1000 mL

2000 mL * 1 L/1000 mL =2 L

If we drink 8 glasses, we are drinking 2 L of water, so we are exceeding 1 L of water per day.

I used metric convertsion to convert mL to liters.

Guardrails sections to be 5m long

Road length that needs a guardrail is .5 km. We need to convert this to meters 1000 m = 1 km

.5km * 1000m / 1km = 500 meters

We have 500 meters that needs guardrails.

500 meters * 1 section/ 5 meters = 100 sections

We need 100 sections.

I used metric conversion to convert km to meters.

3. 6.9 L of lemonade to serve 30 people. We want to serve ml

Convert L to mL

1L = 1000 ML

6.9 L * 1000 ml/1L = 6900 mL

We need to divide 6900 Ml by 30 people

6900mL/30 people = 230 mL of lemonade per person

I used metric conversion to convert L to ML

Zaid and Matias, two farmers, constructed a 792 foot fence around their very large garden. Zaid agreed to construct 20% more of

likoan [24]

Answer:

$1.2x +x =792$

$2.2x =792$

And we got finally:

$x =\frac{792}{2.2}= 360 ft$

And the amount for Zaid would be 1.2*360 ft= 432ft

So then Zaid construc 432 ft and Matias 360 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we know that Zaid and Matias, two farmers, constructed a 792 foot fence around their very large garden so then the total is represented by 792 ft

We also know that Zaid agreed to construct 20% more of the fence than Matias did. Let's assume that the amount that construct by Matias was x then the amount constructed by Zaid would be 1.2 x representing 20% more than Matias and we can set up the following equation:

$1.2x +x =792$

$2.2x =792$

And we got finally:

$x =\frac{792}{2.2}= 360 ft$

And the amount for Zaid would be 1.2*360 ft= 432ft

So then Zaid construc 432 ft and Matias 360 ft
