You are correct.
4. Jack earned $972 in 6 years on an investment at a 3% simple interest rate. How much was Jack’s investment? $174.96 $486 $1944 $5400 <-----
The situation implies that 32 was multiplied by percentage to decrease to 28.32 that percentage must have been 28.32 / 32 or 88.5% which is 11.5% decrease as you say.
What do you think about this ne ^
right, that's classic simple algebra...
A $6000 investment earns $690 annual simple interest in one year. What is the annual interest rate? A. 10.5% B. 11% <<---- C. 11.5% D. 12%
.03(6)(x)=972
What about that one ^^
6000*x= 692 where 692 is the money he got
Is .11 times 6000, 692? No
you know you can convert anything as a percent to a decimal
.11 is 11 hundredths or 11% out of 100%
11.5% of (6000 US$) = 690 U.S. dollars So 11.5% is correct?
What is 692/6000?
That's your answer by rules of algebra.
Yeah. cx Thanks
