Answer:

  • See below

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

<u>Beast Boy spent:</u>

  • 5x

<u>Cyborg spent:</u>

  • 8(x - 1.5)

<u>They spent same amount:</u>

  • 5x = 8(x - 1.5)

(b)

  • 5x = 8x - 12
  • 8x - 5x = 12
  • 3x = 12
  • x = 4

(c)

  • 5*4 = 8(4 - 1.5)
  • 20 = 8*2.5
  • 20 = 20

(d)

  • Beast Boy bought 5 items that each cost $4
  • Cyborg bought 8 items that each cost $2.5

If the simple interest on a certain sum of money for 3 years is three-tenth of the sum,then find the rate of interest per annum
Natalija [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  10%

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume the "sum" being referred to in both cases is the principal amount invested. The simple interest formula tells you ...

  I = Prt . . . . . . interest on P invested at annual rate r for t years

We have ...

  • I = 0.3P
  • t = 3

Filling in these values, we get ...

  0.3P = Pr(3)

  0.1 = r . . . . . . . . divide by 3P

The interest rate is 0.1×100% = 10% per year.
