Damon loaned Betty $1,500 at an annual interest rate of 5%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?
| $1,560 | |
| $1,590 | |
| $1,575 | |
| $1,545 |
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 $1,500
i = 0.05 x $1,500
No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:
total = $1,500 + $75If \(\left|a\right| = 7\), which of the following best describes a?
none of these is correct |
|
a = 7 or a = -7 |
|
a = -7 |
|
a = 7 |
The absolute value is the positive magnitude of a particular number or variable and is indicated by two vertical lines: \(\left|-5\right| = 5\). In the case of a variable absolute value (\(\left|a\right| = 5\)) the value of a can be either positive or negative (a = -5 or a = 5).
If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 3:1 and all 49,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?
| 36,750 | |
| 30,833 | |
| 24,800 | |
| 22,500 |
A ratio of 3:1 means that there are 3 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 4 fans, 3 are home fans and \( \frac{3}{4} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:
49,000 fans x \( \frac{3}{4} \) = \( \frac{147000}{4} \) = 36,750 fans.
What is \( \frac{1c^8}{2c^3} \)?
| 2c-5 | |
| \(\frac{1}{2}\)c5 | |
| \(\frac{1}{2}\)c-5 | |
| 2c11 |
To divide terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:
\( \frac{c^8}{2c^3} \)
\( \frac{1}{2} \) c(8 - 3)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)c5
What is \( \frac{2}{5} \) ÷ \( \frac{4}{8} \)?
| \(\frac{1}{10}\) | |
| \(\frac{2}{21}\) | |
| 4 | |
| \(\frac{4}{5}\) |
To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and then multiply:
\( \frac{2}{5} \) ÷ \( \frac{4}{8} \) = \( \frac{2}{5} \) x \( \frac{8}{4} \)
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:
\( \frac{2}{5} \) x \( \frac{8}{4} \) = \( \frac{2 x 8}{5 x 4} \) = \( \frac{16}{20} \) = \(\frac{4}{5}\)
