April took out a $600 loan from the bank. At the end of 5 years, she pays back the principal, plus $60 simple interest. What was the interest rate?

April took out a loan of $600 and paid it back with simple interest of $60 after 5 years. The formula to calculate interest is  given the principal  and the time   and the interest rate  is . For this problem we have to find the interest rate   given  . To archive that , we can just solve the equation making the interest rate the subject of the formula as shown below,

The interest rate is  or 0.02 as a decimal. The interest rate is 2% as a percentage.

Step-by-step explanation:

38.5

step-by-step explanation:

lets say, first number = r

second number = 3r+7

total = 49

(r)+(3r+7)= 49

4r+7 = 49

4r = 42

r = 42/4

r= 10.5

3r+7 = 3(10.5)+7 = 38.5

hope this

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
