Answer:

Read the explanation!

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the "certain number" be $x$ .

( $*$ is a symbol for multiplication).

Create a few equations and expressions:

The sum of 12 and a certain number: $12 + x$

The product of 3 and the number: $3 *x = 3x$

The sum of 12 and a certain number is equal to the product of 3 and the number:

$12 + x$ = $3x$

Solve!

12=3x-x

aniked [119]

Answer:

$1,665.19

Step-by-step explanation:

Interest=PRT/100 where P is the principal amount deposited by Michelle, R is the rate offered per year in terms of percentage, T is the period in years

Substituting P for $1385, T for 7 years, R for 2.89% we obtain interest as follows

Interest=$1,385*2.89*7 years/100=$280.1855

Balance after 7 years will be the sum of principal amount and interest gained

Balance=$1,385+$280.1855 =$1,665.1855

Rounding off to 2 decimal places

Balance=$1665.19

Therefore, Michelle's balance is $1,665.19
