Answer:

<em>Correct choice: C. $320</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Simple Interest</u>

Definition: Interest calculated on the original principal only of a loan or on the balance of an account.

Unlike compound interest where the interest earned in the compounding periods is added to the new principal, simple interest only considers the principal to calculate the interest.

The interest earned is calculated as follows:

I=P.r.t

Where:

I = Interest

P = initial principal balance

r = interest rate

t = time

Marving is saving money in a savings account with a simple interest rate of r=7.5%=0.075. It's known that after t=12 years, the account had earned $288 interest. Substituting in the formula:

288 = P*0.075*12

Calculating:

288 = 0.9P

Dividing by 0.9:

P = $320

Correct choice: C. $320

Answer:

The answer is p = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar it means that there is a scale factor between triangle FHG and triangle DFE. Dividing either length of the known sides of triangle DFE by the corresponding sides of triangle FHG will give the scale factor which turns out to be 1 and 1/3. Multiplying the length of side FH by the scale factor (1 and 1/3) will give the length of side DF, or p, since side FH corresponds to side DF. Multiplying side FH by the scale factor will give an answer of 16. Therefore, side DF, or p, is equal to 16.
