1.       James took out a loan at a rate of 85% for siz months.

Then he had to pay back 1 876.50 dollars in six months.

Let’s find out how much did James originally borrowed before it has an interest rate:

=> 1 876.50 dollars is the amount he paid with 8.5% interest already.

=> 8.5% / 100 = .085

Now, let’s multiply

=> 1 876.50 * .085 = 159.5025

we now have the value of 159.5025, Now subtract,

=> 1 876.50 – 159.5025 = 1716.9975 or approximately 1717 dollars.

no he doesnt because "-16' is negatiive

step-by-step explanation:

0.0076, if you meant 4.125 divided by 0.03125 it would be 132

step-by-step explanation:

first you have to move the decimal in 0.03125 over until its behind the 5 which is 5 places over. now the number is 3125

then you have to move the decimal in 4.125, 5 places over. now the number is 4,112,500.

now you divide like you would normally would and get 0.0076
