After 10 months the simple interest of a 6,000 investment was $769. What is the interest rate

Mathematics

Answer:

Interest rate ( <em>r </em>) = 15.38% or 0.1538

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the principal (P) = $6,000, and the simple interest of $769 earned after 10 months:

We can determine the interest rate (<em>r</em> ) by creating its formula algebraically, then use the equation to solve for its value.  

Using the simple interest formula,  

<em>I </em>=<em> P </em>× <em>r </em>×<em> t </em>

where:

I = interest amount = $769

P = present value of the principal = $6,000

r = interest rate

t = time  = 10/12 (10 months out of 12 months) = 0.83333

I = P × r × t

Divide both sides by P × t:

I / ( P × t ) = P × t × r / ( P × t )

I / ( P × t ) = r

Therefore, the formula for the interest rate is:<em> </em><em>r</em> = <em>I</em> / ( <em>P</em> × <em>t</em> )

Substitute the given values into the formula to solve for r:

r = I / ( P × t )

r = $769 / ($6,000 × 0.83333)

r = $769/ 4,999.99999

r = 0.1538 or 15.38%

I'd greatly appreciate it if you could please mark my answers as the Brainliest, if you find this solution helpful :)

A farmer wants to use 200 feet of fencing for a chicken pen. He wants the width of the pen to be 20 feet. What is the length of
Aneli [31]
The length should be 80 feet.

This is because the width is 20, since there are two sides for the width in a pen, we have to add 20+20. This would equal 40. Then we need to subtract 40 from 200. 200-40 would be 160. Then since there are two sides for the length, we need to split that in half. 160÷2 would be 80. To double check, you can do 80+80 and that would still be 160. So the length of one side would be 80. But of course, this whole thing would only be right if the pen has four sides(but since i have seen many chicken pens, there were all rectangular). I hope this helped! :)
