For simple interest, the equation is
i = prt
interest = (principal/amount deposited) • (rate in decimal form) • (time in years)

To change the 2 1/2% interest to decimal form, first it becomes 2.5% interest, then divide by 100 (moving the decimal place 2 to the left), = 0.025

To calculate interest after 1 year, the equation blanks they gave you left off the time, which is 1, because it won’t change the equation.

0.025 • 250 = $6.25

Interest after 8 years:

i = (250)(0.025)(8)
i = $50

Hope this helps. Let me know in the comments if you have questions, or want to include the rest of the “convince me” section.

Answer:

Question 6: 26 crowns plus 15 ribbons.

Question 7: 10 footballs plus 42 basketballs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 6 explanation: Since the expression is 22 crowns plus 13 ribbons plus 2 ribbons plus 4 crowns, you can think of the different items as variables in an equation. Picture crowns are the variable $x$ , and ribbons as the variable $y$ , this will help you solve the equation in an easier way that allows you to comprehend each step better. The equation will now be $22x+13y+2y+4x$ , in order to find how many $x$ (crowns) and $y$ (ribbons) you have, you need to combine like terms in the expression. In other words, add the terms with the variable $x$ together, and add the terms with the variable $y$ together. Simplified, the equation will be $26x+15y$ . Since the variables $x$ and $y$ were used to represent crowns and ribbons respectively, that means the correct answer is 26 crowns plus 15 ribbons.

Question 7 explanation: You can use the same method as you did in question 6, think of footballs and basketballs as the variables $x$ and $y$ respectively. The equation will be $16x+38y-6x+4y$ = $10x+42y$ . Since the variable $x$ was used to represent footballs and the variable $y$ was used to represent basketballs, that means the correct answer would be 10 footballs plus 42 basketballs.
