a. 2
b. 3
c. 4.5
d. 5

 The correct option is (B) 3.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Lily  just paid off a $400 loan. She had to pay $60 in interest at a simple annual interest rate of 5%.

We are to find the number of years for which Lily had this loan.

Let n be the required number of years.

Also, P = $400, S.I. = $60 and r% = 5%.

Therefore, by the formula of simple interest, we have

Thus, the required number of years is 3.

Option (B) is CORRECT.

hope this !

step-by-step explanation:

d = distance between moon and sun, which in this problem is the hypotenuse of a right triangle.  

the distance y is the side opposite to angle x in the right triangle.   use the definition of the sine function from basic trigonometry.

sin(x) = y/d ⇒

d = y/sin(x)
