John has $20.00 to spend for his mother's birthday. A string of pearls and a pair of pearl earrings costs $25.00. They are on sale for 30% off. How much money will John have left?

2.50

Step-by-step explanation:

30% of 25 is 7.50 take that away from 25 gives you 17.50 take that away from 20 gives you 2.50

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.

the reporter's right

step-by-step explanation:

1/4 = .25 / 25%
