Ezra loaned Damon $700 at an annual interest rate of 4%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$28
$8
$70
$24

Solution

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 = 0.04 x $700
i = $28

56% Answer Correctly
2
7
3
12

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 108 pounds of food in 9 days that's \( \frac{108}{9} \) = 12 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 144 - 108 = 36 more pounds of food to reach 144 pounds total. At 12 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{36}{12} \) = 3 more days.
