Philippa took out a $860 discounted loan for a period of m months at a simple interest rate of 6%. the amount she actually received into her bank account was $838.50. calculate the value of m.

5 Months

Step-by-step explanation:

For this calculation we use the fact that the total interest is $860 − $838.50 = $21.50. Therefore using  I = Prt,

we get  $21.50 = $860 × 0.06 × t.

Solving this for t gives t = 0.416 =512. Hence m = 5.

answer: bearing in mind that a rectangle has a perimeter of length + length + width + width.

step-by-step explanation:

p = perimeter

l = length

x=width

p = 2l + 2x

p = 2(l+x)     < ==== perimeter of the base of the box.
