Carin opened a money market account with a deposit of $3,000. This account earns 2% simple
interest annually. How many years will it take for
her $3,000 deposit to earn $420 in interest, assum-
ing she does not withdraw any of the money?

7

Step-by-step explanation:

For simple interest,

I = prt

where I = interest,

p = principal (amount deposited)

r = annual rate of interest

t = time in years

We have r = 2% = 0.02

p = $3,000

I = $420

We need to find t

I = prt

420 = 3000 * 0.02 * t

420 = 60t

t = 420/60

t = 7

6,250

step-by-step explanation:

to get the area, multiply 360 by 160.(57,600)

to find out how many bags of fertilizer it will take, first figure out how many square feet one bag can hold. divide 1000 by 8(125) to get the unit rate(how many square feet one pound of fertilizer can hold)and multiply it by 50(6250). if i haven't made a mistake, that is the answer.

step-by-step explanation:

no, her answer is not correct.   we square the lengths of all sides and then determine whether the pythagorean theorem holds here:

9² + 15² = 306.   this is not equal to the square of the longest side ( that square being 395.   answer c is correct.
