The basic equation for interest is the investment amount(x) times the time in years(y) times the percent of interest(z).
That makes the equation:
x·y·z= amount with interest.
Lets plug in the numbers:
$900 x 1.5 x 2.4%
Now turn the percent into a decimal:
2.4% ----> .024
Now the equation is:
$900 x 1.5 x .024
Now do the math:
$900 x 1.5 = 1350
1350 x .024 = 32.4
1350 + 32.4 = 1382.4
The final answer is $1382.40
Hope this helps!
Alright so turn 3/4 into a decimal.
3/4 =.75
We need to set up an equation. To do that are need to give boys and girls their own variables.
Girls= X
And since there is 3/4 as many boys
Boys=. 75X
Now we know the sum of boys and girls equals 35
X+.75X=35
X+.75X=1.75X
Now we have 1.75X=35
Divide by 1.75 and get
20=X
Now plug 20 into the equations got from before.
Boys =. 75*X = 20 *. 75 = 15
Girls = X =20
Your Answer:
15 boys
20 girls
You can check
20+15=35
15/20=3/4
Answer:
Divide total length by length of each piece to get the number of pieces.
= 30 ÷ 2/3
multiply by reciprocal of 2/3
= 30 * 3/2
= 90/2
= 45
ANSWER: Total number of pieces that can be cut is 45.
