Answer:

the intensity increases by a factor of 10, the Ritcher scale uses a logarithm with base 10. For example an earthquake with magnitude 2 is 10^2 times more intense than a standard earthquake, while an earthquake with magnitude 3 is 10^3 times more intense than a standard earthquake, and 10^3 = 10^2 • 10

Answer:

Because of the logarithmic basis of the scale, each whole number increase in magnitude represents a tenfold increase in measured amplitude; in terms of energy, each whole number increase corresponds to an increase of about 31.6 times the amount of energy released, and each increase of 0.2 corresponds to approximately a doubling of the energy released.

Clarissa needs a $2,500 loan in order to buy a car. Which loan option would allow her to pay the least amount of interest?
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Clarissa needs a $2,500 loan in order to buy a car.

There are 4 options of loan we will calculate all the options that pay the least amount of interest.

To calculate the interest we will use this formula :

\frac{P\times R\times time}{100}

Where P = Principal amount

R = rate of interest

T = time in years

A) Principal 2,500 interest 4.75% and time 18 months (1.5 years)

\frac{2500\times 4.75\times 1.5}{100}

= $178.125

B) Principal 2,500 interest 4% and time 30 months (2.5 years)

\frac{2500\times 4\times 2.5}{100}

= $250

C) Principal 2,500 interest 4.25% and time 24 months (2 years)

\frac{2500\times 4.25\times 2}{100}

= $212.50

D) Principal 2,500 interest 4.50% and time 36 months (3 years)

\frac{2500\times 4.5\times 3}{100}

= $337.50

The least amount of interest would be in option A.
