6 less than the product of a number and 3 is -18..what is the number?

1 answer:

4 0

The product of a number and 3 can be represented as 3n (where n = unknown number). Then 6 less than 3n is 3n - 6.

3n - 6 = -18
3n = -12
n = -4

Check:
-4 x 3 = -12
-12 - 6 = -18 (this works!)

What is the simple interest paid on $2,300 at 4% for 2 years?

Stells [14]

Answer:

$2,484

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Multiply 2300 x .04 because 4% is added yearly. That's 92.

2) Multiply that answer by 2 since the amount is compounded for two years. 92 x 2 = 184.

3) Add the interest and original amount together. 2300 + 184 = $2484
