Its 110 cuz it goes up 10% if it was 20% it would be 120
Use the formula i=prt, where i is the interest earned, p is the principal, r is the rate (as a decimal fraction) and t is the elapsed time, in years.
Here i = $72 = $1200 r (9/12) (9 months is 9/12, or 3/4, of 1 year)
Reducing,
$72 = $900r
Solving for r, r=0.08, or 8 percent per year.
6.75 is the absolute value of 6.75 absolute value is distance from zero and 6.75 is 6.75 from 0 so is -6.75
