0.2% = 2/100

increase amount over the whole amount

If the increase length is 1cm and you are looking for the whole amount

2/100 = 1/x

Cross multiply
2x = 100
x = 50 cm is the original length of the bar

Checking you answer,
0.2% of 50 is 0.02 × 50 which is 1 so the answer is correct.

The original length of the bar is 50 cm.

Elanso [62]
The $20 estimate is too low. $5.68 was incorrectly rounded down. It should have been rounded up to $6. The correct estimate should have been $24, so $20 will not be enough to buy 4.1 pounds of cherries

Nolan Walker decided to buy a used snowmobile since his credit union was offering such low interest rates. He borrowed $4,400 at
Serhud [2]

Answer:

He paid $253.09 in interest.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how much did he pay in interest, we use the simple intrest formula, that is given by:

I = Prt

In which I is the value paid in interest, P is the money borrowed, r is the yearly interest rate and t is the time.

In our problem, we have that:

He borrowed $4,400, so P = 4,400

At 4.75% yearly. We measure the time in days, so we have to divide this value by 365. So r = \frac{0.0475}{365}.

From December 26, 2019 to February 21, 2021, there are 422 days, so t = 422.

I = Prt

I = 4,400\frac{0.0475}{365} 422

I = 253.09

He paid $253.09 in interest.

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

330

Step-by-step explanation:

If d = distance, t = time, and s = speed, then the relationship between the 3 is s * t = d.

Solve for speed by dividing the distance over the time, s = d/t. Then, plug in the speed which in this case is 55 mph and then multiply by the time of 6 hours.
