8. hassan made a vegetable salad with 2 3/8 pounds
of tomatoes, 1 1/4 pounds of asparagus, and
2 7/8 pounds of potatoes. how many pounds of
vegetables did he use altogether?

let's convert firstly the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then add up.

the answer is 200

step-by-step explanation:

the way the question is worded, it seems to imply the $264 interest is simple interest, not compound interest.

the simple interest for 2 years is $264; the simple interest for 1 year is $132.

$132 interest on a $600 investment means an interest rate of (132/600)*100 = 22%.

the value of $200 at 22% interest compounded annually for three years is

200%281.22%29%5e3

the amount of interest is that value, minus the original $200.
