35% off means that now it costs 100%-35%=65% of the original price

£78 ---- 65%
x------100%

x=78*100/65=120£

or
part/whole=0.65
78/whole=0.65
whole =78/0.65 =120 £

T.J. invests $8,100 in an account

Illusion [34]

Answer:

$13,177.97

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound Interest Formula

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}$

A = final amount

P = initial investment

r = interest rate

n = number of times the rate is applied during a time period

t = number of times the time period has elapsed

$A=8100(1+\frac{.072}{1} )^{(1)(7)} \\A=8100(1.072)^{7}\\ A=8100*(1.626909883)\\A=13177.97006$

How much water do you add to make 12% sugar syrup using 5g sugar?

Alchen [17]

so the syrup is just water and sugar, we know that the sugar percent is just 12%, and that happens to be 5grams.

now 100% - 12% is 88%, so the 88% leftover will just be water.

if 12% is 5g, how much is 88%?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 5&12\\ x&88 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{5}{x}=\cfrac{12}{88}\implies \cfrac{5}{x}=\cfrac{3}{22}\implies 110=3x \\\\\\ \cfrac{110}{3}=x\implies 36\frac{2}{3}=x$
