speed of current is 1.5 mi/hr

Answer:

let the rate in still water be x and rate of the current be y.

speed down the river is:

speed=distance/time

speed=14/2=7 mi/h

speed up the river is:

speed=(14)/(3.5)=4 mi/hr

thus total speed downstream and upstream will be:

x+y=7...i

x-y=4.......ii

adding the above equations i and ii we get:

2x=11

x=5.5 mi/hr

thus

y=5-5.5=1.5 mi/r

thus the speed in still waters is 5.5 mi/hr

speed of current is 1.5 mi/hr

nika2105 [10]

Ten gave the check of $5768 to the bank for payment.

<h3>What is simple interest?</h3>

Simple interest is calculated based on a loan's principal or the initial deposit into a savings account. Simple interest doesn't compound, so a borrower will never have to pay interest on the interest already accumulated because a creditor will only pay interest on the principal amount.

Formula for simple interest is;-

Simple interest = (principal amount×rate of interest×time duration in years)/100

S.I = (P×R×T)/100

Calculation of the total amount paid by Ted to the bank-

The principal amount is  $5,600.

The rate of interest is 9%.

Time duration is 4 months equals 4/12 = 1/3 years.

S.I = (5,600×9×1)/(3×100)

S.I  = 168

The simple interest on amount is $168.

Thus, the total amount is S.I + principal amount

Total amount = 168 + 5600

                      = 5768

Therefore, the total amount paid by the Ted to the bank is $5768.
