<em>Mrs. Adams will earn $3,120 of interest at the end of year 8.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Simple Interest</u>
In simple interest, the money earns interest at a fixed rate, assuming no new money is coming in or out of the account.
We can calculate the interests earned by an investment of value A in a period of time t, at an interest rate r with the formula:
Mrs. Adams deposited an amount of A=$12,000 into an account that earns an annual simple interest rate of r=3.25%. We must find the interest earned in t=8 years. The interest rate is converted to decimal as:
The interest is then calculated:
Mrs. Adams will earn $3,120 of interest at the end of year 8.
A bag of pop corn costs $8, and each Pretzel costs $4.25.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be the price of popcorn, and the price of Pretzels. If the girl bought 2 bags of popcorn and 5 Pretzels and it cost her $37.25, we have the equation
<em>(this says that the cost of 2 popcorn bags plus 5 pretzels equals $37.25)</em> .
And, since Zoe bought 8 popcorn bags and 9 Pretzels with a total price of $102.25, we get the equation
<em> (this says that the cost of 8 popcorn bags plus 9 Pretzels equals $102.25).</em>
Thus, we have two equations
1.
2.
and we solve them by first multiplying equation (1) by 4:
,
and then subtracting it from equation (2):
Now we put this value of into equation (1) and get:
and we solve for to get:
Therefore, a bag of popcorn costs $8, and each Pretzel costs $4.25.
Step-by-step explanation: in the first 4 minutes she planted 7 flowers, in the next 8 minutes she planted 21 flower. so what i did was divide 70 by 7... since the amount of flowers is going up by 7's. so 70 divided by 7 is 10... now every 4 minutes you plant flowers so 10 by 4= 40 minutes
