The formula is Interest = principle times rate times time in years.
                        I=prt        

p=1000
r= 0.025
t=x

To find the amount of interest that is earned in a specific time frame, subtract the final amount of money by the principal. 1500-1000=500.

500 = 1000(0.025)x
500 = 25x   
x= 20 years

Which expression shows a way to find 20% of 950?<br> 950<br> 20<br> 20<br> What is it
Komok [63]
To find 20% of 950 you would set it up as a proportion. When doing percentages the prevent is always out of 100 so the first step would be 20/100. You are trying to find a number out of 950 so the second part would be ?/950. Now you want to cross multiply and divide. 20*950=19,000 then you divide it by 100 (your other number) 19,000/100=190. So 20% of 950 is 190.

A hyperbola centered at the origin has a vertex at (0, 36) and a focus at (0, 39).
likoan [24]
To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
 1. You have that the hyperbola <span>has a vertex at (0,36) and a focus at (0,39).
 2. Therefore, the equation of the directrices is:

 a=36
 a^2=1296
 c=39

 y=a^2/c

 3. When you susbtitute the values of a^2 and c into </span>y=a^2/c, you obtain:
<span>
 </span>y=a^2/c
<span> y=1296/13

 4. When you simplify:

 y=432/13

 Therefore, the answer is: </span><span>y = ±432/13</span>

We can solve this equation by using the Square Root Method.
First, take the square root of each side of the equation:
(x-8)^2 = 144 becomes x-8 = 12
Then add 8 to both sides.
x=20

The original lawn was d. 20 feet by 20 feet.

Let d(t) be the total number of miles Joanna has cycled, and let t represent the number of hours after stopping for a break duri
katrin [286]
For this case we have the following equation:
 d (t) = 12t + 20&#10;
 The variables are:
 t: time in hours
 d (t): distance traveled in miles.
 We evaluate the distance traveled after 4 hours.
 So we have that for t = 4:
 d (4) = 12 (4) +20&#10;&#10;d (4) = 48 + 20&#10;&#10;d (4) = 68
 Answer:
 
d (4) = 68
 
This means that after 4 hours Joanna cycled for 68 miles total
