Charlie loaned Roger $700 at an annual interest rate of 6%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?
| $77 | |
| $32 | |
| $5 | |
| $42 |
The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:
interest = annual interest rate x loan amount
i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $700
i = 0.06 x $700
i = $42

\({a \over 5} \) |
A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.
A sports card collection contains football, baseball, and basketball cards. If the ratio of football to baseball cards is 9 to 2 and the ratio of baseball to basketball cards is 9 to 1, what is the ratio of football to basketball cards?
| 81:2 | |
| 9:1 | |
| 9:4 | |
| 3:4 |
The ratio of football cards to baseball cards is 9:2 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards is 9:1. To solve this problem, we need the baseball card side of each ratio to be equal so we need to rewrite the ratios in terms of a common number of baseball cards. (Think of this like finding the common denominator when adding fractions.) The ratio of football to baseball cards can also be written as 81:18 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards as 18:2. So, the ratio of football cards to basketball cards is football:baseball, baseball:basketball or 81:18, 18:2 which reduces to 81:2.

Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multipy/Divide, Add/Subtract):
3 + (4 + 3) ÷ 2 x 5 - 42
P: 3 + (7) ÷ 2 x 5 - 42
E: 3 + 7 ÷ 2 x 5 - 16
MD: 3 + \( \frac{7}{2} \) x 5 - 16
MD: 3 + \( \frac{35}{2} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{6}{2} \) + \( \frac{35}{2} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{41}{2} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{41 - 32}{2} \)
\( \frac{9}{2} \)
