Alex loaned Betty $600 at an annual interest rate of 2%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?
| $648 | |
| $612 | |
| $636 | |
| $606 |
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 $600
i = 0.02 x $600
No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:
total = $600 + $12What is -6c6 x 3c7?
| -18c | |
| -3c42 | |
| -18c13 | |
| -3c13 |
To multiply terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:
-6c6 x 3c7
(-6 x 3)c(6 + 7)
-18c13
What is \( \frac{4}{6} \) - \( \frac{6}{12} \)?
| \( \frac{9}{12} \) | |
| 2 \( \frac{4}{12} \) | |
| \(\frac{1}{6}\) | |
| 1 \( \frac{1}{12} \) |
To subtract these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60] and the first few multiples of 12 are [12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96]. The first few multiples they share are [12, 24, 36, 48, 60] making 12 the smallest multiple 6 and 12 share.
Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:
\( \frac{4 x 2}{6 x 2} \) - \( \frac{6 x 1}{12 x 1} \)
\( \frac{8}{12} \) - \( \frac{6}{12} \)
Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can subtract them:
\( \frac{8 - 6}{12} \) = \( \frac{2}{12} \) = \(\frac{1}{6}\)
