Answer:
The interest rate of Jess's account was 7%
Step-by-step explanation:
A = P * (1 + rt)
A = final amount
P = initial principal balance
r = annual interest rate
t = time (in years)
Replacing with the values we know:
A = P * (1 + rt)
8,150 = 5,000 * (1 + r * 9)
8,150/5,000 = 1 + 9r
1.63 = 1 + 9r
1.63 - 1 = 9r
0.63 = 9r
r = 063/9
r = 0.07 = 7%
The interest rate of Jess's account was 7%
A is your answer
We can cross multiply using x/70=30%/100
Solving it we get:
100x=2100 (70 times 30)
x=21
So we get a, 21 as your answer.
I hope this helped!
