What simple interest rate is needed for $1000 to grow to $1071.25 in 9 months?

Answer:

9.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula I = Prt

I is the interest (unknown), P is the principal (1000), rate is the percent (unknown), and t is time in years (9/12).

9 months is a fraction of a year. There are 12 months in a year, so our fraction is 9/12. You can reduce this fraction by dividing by 3. The fraction reduced is 3/4. You can also use the decimal which is .75.

First we need to solve how much interest we earned. 1071.25 is the balance, so we need to subtract the principal from the balance.

1071.25 - 1000 = 71.25

Plug the numbers in to the formula. We are solving for r.

71.25 = 1000(.75)r

71.25 = 750r

71.25/750 = 750r/750

r = 0.095

Convert the decimal to a percent by moving the decimal two places right.

0.095 = 9.5%

How to multiply 523 × 73
hichkok12 [17]
Line them up
3x3= 9, 3x2= 6, 3x5= 15

Add a 0 under the 9, 7x3= 21, leave the 1 and carry the 2, 7x2= 14+2= 16 leave the 6 and carry the 1, 7x5= 35+1= 36

9+0= 9, 6+1= 7, 5+6= 11 leave 1 carry 1, 1+6= 7+1= 8, 0+3= 3

I need to know which points go wj ere please
g100num [7]
The equations give you information as to where to plot points.

For y = -x + 1, you know the slope is -1, and the line intersects the y-axis at (0, 1). The y-axis is the vertical line; to plot (0, 1), find 1 on the vertical line and mark it. Now, the slope is -1; that means the line will slope downwards. To plot more points, count 1 unit down from (0, 1) and 1 unit to the right. You should end up at (1, 0).Connect those and you have a line.

For y = -2x + 4, the slope is -2 (so it will also slope downwards), and the y-intercept is 4. Find (0, 4) and plot it. The -2 tells you to count 2 units down (instead of 1 like we did for the last equation) and 1 over. That is the second line.

I hope this helps.

The rabbits ate three fifths of the celery crop in each of 8 gardens. What fraction of celery crop did they eat in all?
Ganezh [65]

Answer: twenty-four fifths

Step-by-step explanation:

3/5 x 8 → 3/5 x 8/1 (8/1 is the same as 8) → 3 x 8 = 24 and 5 x 1 = 5 so 3/5 x 8 is 24/5

A 30 ft building casts a shadow that is 75 ft. long. A nearby tree casts a shadow that is 35 ft. long. How tall is the tree?
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

The tree is 14 ft. tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of the building/ Height of the tree  = Shadow of building/ Shadow of tree

30/x = 75/35           Cross multiply

75x = (30)(35)

75x = 1050

x = 1050/75

x = 14
