Answer:

50 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for simple interest:

I = Prt

where

I = interest earned

P = principal amount deposited

r = annual interest rate

t = number of years

When the account reaches $2000, $500 is from the principal and

$2000 - $500 = $1500 is from the interest.

We use the simple interest formula to find the number of years needed to earn $1500 in interest from $500 principal at 6% interest rate.

1500 = 500 * 0.06 * t

t = 50

Answer: 50 years

Answer:

50 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Principal= $500

Rate= 6%

Amount = $2000

The simple interest expression is given as

A=P(1+rt)

Substitute

2000= 500(1+0.06*t)

open bracket

2000=500+ 30t

2000-500=30t

1500=30t

t= 1500/30

t= 50 years

Hence the time is 50 years

torisob [31]

Answer:

D. Marcus rent a car for 5 days

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this by simply plugging the answer choices into the variable d for both equations and comparing the total costs.

When you plug in 5 days you get:

Plan A

C = 30 x 5

C = 150

Plan B

C = 25 x 5 + 15

C = 140

The cost is less for Plan B in this case, so it is better to use Plan B when renting for 5 days.
