An account pays 8% per year simple interest. in year 1, the amount in the account is $850. how much is in the account in year 6? a. $1190.00 b. $1130.00 c. $1209.85 d. $1248.93

In year 1 :  $850

Simple interest = P * n * r

P = $850, n = 1 ( one year ), r = 8% = 0.08

850 * 1 * 0.08 = $68 ( interest for one year)

In year 6 the amount is: 

850 + 5 * 68 = 850 + 340 = 1190

A ) $1190.00

$53.50

step-by-step explanation:

you have to subtract the amount of money chuck earned ($72.50) by the cost of the gas for the mower ($11.25) and the new string for the trimmer he bought ($7.75).

72.50-11.25=61.25

and then subtract $61.25 by the second thing he bought (the new string for the trimmer)

61.25-7.75=53.5

so in total it's $53.50 (53 dollars and 50 cents)
