Find the simple interest.
Principal 200$
Rate of Interest12%
Time 2 years
The simple interest is $?

The answer is $248.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to multiply 200*.12*2 which gives you 48, but you're asking for the total amount so you add 200 + 48 and you get $248.

$48.00

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula we'll use for this is the simple interest formula, or:

P= I × r × t

Where:

P equals principal amount, which is $200.00.

r equals interest rate, which in this case is 12% per year, or as a decimal, 12/100=0.12.

t equals time involved, which would be 2 years.

To find the simple interest, we multiply 200 × 0.12 × 2 to get that the interest is $48.00

the answer is 15% decrease

$53.50

step-by-step explanation:

you have to subtract the amount of money chuck earned ($72.50) by the cost of the gas for the mower ($11.25) and the new string for the trimmer he bought ($7.75).

72.50-11.25=61.25

and then subtract $61.25 by the second thing he bought (the new string for the trimmer)

61.25-7.75=53.5

so in total it's $53.50 (53 dollars and 50 cents)
