Answer for the first question:
Answer for the second question:
15 = x% from 200
<span>15 = </span><span> * 200</span>
15 = 2x / ÷ 2 (both sides)
<u>x = 7.5 [percent]</u>
That is a rational number.
Before her promotion, Mitch was receiving $40,000 per year
after tax. Since the loan payment is 4%, therefore the money that goes to the
loan is:
Loan payment = $40,000 * 0.04
Loan payment = $1,600
After her promotion, Mitch is now receiving:
New salary = $40,000
* 1.25
New salary = $50,000
Therefore the new loan payment becomes:
New loan payment = $50,000 * 0.04
New loan payment = $2,000
Therefore Mitch is paying an extra payment of:
$2,000 - $1,600 = $400
Answer: $400
The answer would be 8*2. Or 8 and the exponent would be 2.
