Answer:
Interest= $ 18.73
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : $600 at 9.5% for 120 days
To find : Find the interest due
Solution :
Simple interest formula
Principle(P)=$600 , rate(r)=9.5%=0.095 , time (t)= 120 days
In years, 1 year = 365 days
1 day = year
120 days = year
Put values in the formula
Therefore, Interest= $ 18.73
If they're integers, that means they can't be fractions (such as 15/2 and 2).
So the only couples of integers that, when multiplied, result in 15 are:
1 and 15
5 and 3.
(there are no other possibilities as both 5 and 3 are not divisible further).
The smaller of the two sums (15+1; 5+3) is 5+3=8.
The least possible sum of a and b is 8.
