Answer:

  a) $8 interest

  b) 32% annual rate

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>a)</h3>

The interest is the excess of the payment over the amount borrowed:

  $58 -50 = $8 . . . amount of interest

__

<h3>b)</h3>

The interest rate is the fraction of the original amount that is interest:

  8/50 = 16/100 = 16% . . . . 6-month rate

Usually, we express the rate as an annual rate, so we need to divide this percentage by the number of years. 6 months is 1/2 year, so ...

  r = 16%/(1/2) = 32% . . . . annual interest rate

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The amount of interest is computed using the formula ...

  I = Prt . . . . . P is the principal borrowed; r is the annual rate; t is the number of years

We can use this to find r, the annual rate:

  I/(Pt) = r . . . . . divide by the coefficient of r

  r = 8/(50·1/2) = 8/25 = 32/100 = 32% . . . . annual rate

13/2 divided by 3/4
Juliette [100K]

Answer: 26/3

Step-by-step explanation: When dividing by a fraction, we can change

the division sign to multiplication and flip the second fraction.

So 13/2 ÷ 3/4 means the same thing as 13/2 · 4/3.

So when dividing by a fraction, we can just multiply

by the reciprocal of that fraction or that fraction flipped.

Next we cross-cancel.

4 and 2 reduce to 2 and 1.

Multiplying across the numerator and denominators we have 26/3.

Two angles are supplementary. If 5 times of one angle is 10 times of the other angle, find the two angles.
Luba_88 [7]
5x + 10x = 180
15x = 180
X = 12
5 x 12 = 60
10 x 12 = 120

The angles are 60° and 120°

You deposit $10,000 into a bank account at 2% annual interest. How long will it take for the $10,000 to compound to $30,000?
Rama09 [41]

Answer: <em>time = 55.48 years</em>

Explanation:

Given:

Principal amount = $10000

Interest rate = 2% p.a

Amount = $30000

We can evaluate the time taken using the following formula:

Amount=Principal(1+\frac{r}{100})^{t}

30000 = 10000\times(1+\frac{2}{100})^{t}

Solving the above equation, we get

1.02^{t} = 3

Now taking log on both sides, we get;

t\ log(1.02) = log(3)

<em>time = 55.48 years</em>
