Juan deposited $200 in a savings account earning 3% interest over 2 years. What was the total amount of interest earned at the end of 2 years? A. $24 B. $12 C. $120 D. $240

OpenStudy (hanner_b_nanner):

$200x3%=$60... for two years, $60+$60=$120. SO, the answer is C. :))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

200x3=600

OpenStudy (hanner_b_nanner):

3%...=0.03 on the calculator :)) 200x0.03=60

would this be A

OpenStudy (hanner_b_nanner):

$87.50 is the interest from one year. What will it be at the end of 6 years? $87.50x6=?

525

OpenStudy (hanner_b_nanner):

Yes! So it will be B :)

Robby invested $18,400 at 7% interest. He earned $9016 interest at the end of x years. What is the value of x? A. 10 B. 9 C. 8 D. 7

OpenStudy (hanner_b_nanner):

$18400x7%(0.07)=$1288... that's one years worth of interest. So, divide the total by that. $9016/$1288=7. So, D!

Lily invested $750 in a savings account and earned $225 in interest at the end of 5 years. What was the interest rate? A. 5% B. 5.5% C. 6% D. 6.5%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5%?

OpenStudy (hanner_b_nanner):

Not quite, almost!!! For this one, you need to figure out the amount he gets per year first. So, if he got $225 for 5 years...$225/5=$45. He got $45 in interest per year. And really the fastest way to do this one is plug in your answer choices. 750 times what gives you the $45? 750x5%= 37.45. Nope, doesn't=45. 750x5.5%= 41.25. Nope, doesn't=45. 750x6%= 45. Yes, ='s 45. 750x6.5%= 48.75. Nope, doesn't=45.
