Santiago buys a new computer for $3000. He pays it off in 2 years and pays $480 in simple interest. What was the interest rate?

8%

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this by making use of the simple interest formula

I= PRT/100

480= 3000×R×2/100

480= 6000R/100

Cross multiply

48000= 6000R

R= 48000/6000

= 8%

Hence the rate is 8%

0.16 or 16%

step-by-step explanation:

lets take a coin for example.

if you toss it twice, it has a 1/4 chance of landing on heads both times because 1/2 * 1/2 is 1/4.

with the cards, the chance of picking dog is 0.4. having two people pick one is like picking a card twice in a row. so 0.4 * 0.4 is 0.16, or 16%

x is greater than 5

step-by-step explanation:

2x+7 is greater than 17

    -7                           -7

2x is greater than 10

divide by 2 each side

x is greater than 5
