Answer:

5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Addition or subtraction of fractions requires a common denominator. The value 3/3 can be multiplied by 2/2 to give 6/6, which has the same denominator as the other fraction.

$\dfrac{3}{3}-\dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{3\cdot2}{3\cdot2}-\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\=\dfrac{6}{6}-\dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{6-1}{6}=\boxed{\dfrac{5}{6}}$

Travka [436]

Given:

Amount borrowed (P)= $25000

Rate of interest (r)= 6%

Time (t)= 4 years.

To find:

The total interest the company pay in all.

Solution:

We know that,

$A=P(1+r)^t$

where, A is amount, P is principal, r is rate of interest and t is time period.

$A=25000(1+\dfrac{6}{100})^4$

$A=25000(1.06)^4$

$A=25000(1.26247696)$

$A=31561.924
$

Now,

$I=A-P$

$I=31561.924-25000$

$I=6561.924$

Therefore, the total interest is $6561.924.
