What percent of whites polled agree that George Zimmerman would have been arrested?

Question

anonymous · Answer

To get a percentage, you take the number agreed (in this case 771) and divide by the total number (2334) then multiply by 100 because you will get a decimal.

(771/2334) * 100 = answer in %

Frederick needs to borrow $3000 for a down payment on a new car. His uncle decided to loan him the money as a 3.5% simple interest loan. Frederick doesn’t want to pay more than $210 in interest. How many years does Frederick have to pay back the loan with interest?

anonymous · Answer

Okay, the equation for a simple interest loan is I = PRT where I is the total interest, P is the principle, R is the rate (in decimal form so divide the 3.5 by 100) and T is the time in years. In this case, I = 210, P = 3000, R = 0.035 and we are solving for T.

210=3000*0.035*T?

anonymous · Answer

is it 105

anonymous · Answer

You have the equation right, but the answer shouldn't be that high.

anonymous · Answer

Oh, the 105 you have is the 3000 * 0.035. So now you are at 210 = 105*T
