Simple interest is the amount charged on the principal amount with a fixed rate of interest for a time period.

The balance of the last month of Jerome's account is $880

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

Simple interest is the amount charged on the principal amount with a fixed rate of interest for a time period. Simple interest calculated only on the principal amount.

The formula for the simple interest can be given as,

I=\dfrac{P\times r\times t}{100}

Here, I is the interest rate on the principal amount of P with the rate of r in the time period of t.

Given information-

Jerome's average balance checking account pays simple interest of 7.2% annually.

Jerome made $5.28 in interest last month.

Convert the interest rate monthly as,

r=\dfrac{7.2}{12} \\r=0.6

Thus the monthly interest rate is 0.6 percent.

Suppose the balance of the last month is P. Use the above formula to find the principal amount,

I=\dfrac{P\times r\times t}{100}\\5.28=\dfrac{P\times 0.6\times 1}{100}

Solve it for P,

P=\dfrac{5.28\times100}{0.6\times1} \\P=\dfrac{528}{0.6} \\P=880

Hence, The balance of the last month of Jerome's account is $880.

Angl is a square. The equation of line NG is Y= 1/2 X - 6. Find the equation of line LG in slope intercept form given that the c
Irina18 [472]

Answer: y=-2x-9

Step-by-step explanation:

If ANGL is a square, then NG and LG are adjacent sides.

Adjacent sides are perpendicular.  [Each angle is 90°]

The equation of line NG is Y=\dfrac12 X-6.

By comparing it to equation in slope intercept form y=mx+c ( where , m= slope , c=y-interecpt)

slope =\dfrac12

Let slope of LG be <em>n</em>, then

n\times \dfrac{1}{2}=-1 [Product of slopes of two perpendicular line =-1]

\Rightarrow n=-2

Equation of a line passes through (a,b) and have slope m is given by :-

(y-b)=m(x-a)

Equation of LG :

(y-1)=-2(x-(-5))\\\\\Rightarrow\ y-1=-2x-10\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=-2x-9 [In intercept form]

Two trains 500 miles apart accidentally are on the same track heading toward each other. The passenger train is traveling 80 mph
Natalka [10]

Answer:

2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Their combined speed (speed of closure) is 80 mph + 40 mph = 120 mph.

120 mi/h = 120 mi/(60 min) = 2 mi/min

The distance between the trains at the 1-minute mark is ...

(1 min) · (2 mi/min) = 2 mi

They were warned when two miles apart.
