Answer:
What is the m part?
Step-by-step explanation:
total of ages now is 67 + 4 + 4 = 75
S=shelly
M= Michelle
Michelle is 3 yrs younger than Shelly so use S-3
S +M = 75
replace M with S-3 to get:
S +S-3=75
2S=78
s=39
So shelly is 39
Michelle is 3 years younger = 39-3 = 36
Use the formula i=prt, where i is the interest earned, p is the principal, r is the rate (as a decimal fraction) and t is the elapsed time, in years.
Here i = $72 = $1200 r (9/12) (9 months is 9/12, or 3/4, of 1 year)
Reducing,
$72 = $900r
Solving for r, r=0.08, or 8 percent per year.
