Footlocker in the mall is having a 25% off sale on all tennis shoes. Joe paid $67.50 for his

Mathematics

marta [7]3 years ago

Answer:

The original price of the shoes was $90.

Step-by-step explanation:

25% off means the price Joe paid for it is 75% of the original price.

Set up an equation:

75/100 = 67.50/x

Cross multiply

75 × x = 100 × 67.50

75x = 6750

x = 90

Check our work:

First solve for 25% off of 90 (our answer).

25% = 0.25

90 × 0.25 = 22.50

Next, subtract the discount from 90.

90 - 22.50 = 67.50

67.50 was what Joe paid so this is correct.

21. Paul has $900 to invest in a savings account that has an annual interest rate of 1.8%, and a money market account that pays
Iteru [2.4K]

The polynomial that gives the interest earned after a year will have variables, exponents and constants that are joined by operators.

  • The interest earned after one year is <u>0.018·x</u>

Reasons:

The amount Paul has to invest = $900

The annual interest rate from the savings account = 1.8%

The amount the money market account pays per year = 4.2 %

Required: The polynomial for the interest Paul earned by investing <em>x</em> dollars in the savings account.

Solution:

The interest earned is found using the compound interest formula as follows;

\displaystyle A = \mathbf{P \cdot \left(1 + \frac{r}{n} \right)^{n \cdot t}}

Where;

A = The amount in the account after one year

P = The original amount invested = x

r = The interest rate offered on the investment = 1.8% = 0.018

t = The time of the investment = 1 year

n = The number of times of application of the interest per period = Once per year

Which gives;

Interest = Amount earned = A - P

Therefore;

\displaystyle Interest, \ I  = \mathbf{P \cdot \left(1 + \frac{r}{n} \right)^{n \cdot t} - P}

Plugging in the values gives;

\displaystyle I  = x \cdot \left(1 + \frac{0.018}{1} \right)^{1 \times 1} - x = x \cdot 1.018^1 - x = 1.018 \cdot x - x = 0.018 \cdot x

The polynomial equation is therefore;

Interest, I = 0.018·x

Using the simple interest formula, we have;

\displaystyle Interest = \mathbf{\frac{P \times r \times t}{100}}

Which gives;

\displaystyle Interest = \frac{x \times 1.8 \times 1}{100}  = 0.018 \cdot x

Interest earned by investing in the savings account for one year, I = 0.018·x

  • The polynomial representing the interest earned is <u><em>I</em></u><u> = 0.018·x</u>
