Answer: 448 dollars
=============================================
Work Shown:
P = 400 is the balance
r = 0.12 is the decimal form of the interest rate
t = 1 is the number of years
Use those values to get the simple interest to be
i = P*r*t
i = 400*0.12*1
i = 48
The amount of interest charged is $48
Add this onto the balance of 400 dollars and the total amount Aaron owes is P+i = 400+48 = 448 dollars.
P = w * .6
Explanation: First, we must determine the price per pound of watermelon. To do this, we take the cost of the watermelons, and divide it by the number of pounds. 4.38 / 7.3, which is .6. This tells us each pound costs 60 cents, or $.6. We’re trying to say “The total price of watermelon would be the amount of watermelon bought times .6.” Plug in the variables you’re given, and you get p = w * 6.
I believe that the slope would be 4/2 or 2, but i wouldn’t take my word for it
