Number of days that attracted penalty is from April 5 to July 19 which is 105 days.
Thus the amount of simple interest attracted by Ron is given by:
Answer:
5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
9/18 + 1/3 <Need the same denominator so find the lowest common multiple.
3 6 9 12 15 18 < multiples of 3
if 3 goes into 18 than it will be our LCM
3 goes into 18 6 times so multiply 1 and 3 by 6 and rewrite the equation
9/18 + 6/18 < just add 9 + 6 and place it over 18
15/18 <this number can be simplified so write out their factors and pick the highest one to divide by one they have in common.
1 3 5 15 <Factors of 15
1 2 3 6 9 18 <Factors of 18
3 is the highest one they both have so divide both 15 and 18 by 3
15/3 is 5 and 18/3 is 6
put the 5 and 6 in their proper places and you have 5/6 or .83333333333...
Multiply -1/2 by -7/3 to get the answer
The second one is the right answer
