Barbara deposited $300 in the bank. if the bank pays her simple interest at the rate of 4 percent per year, how much money will she have in her account at the end of 9 months?

309

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for simple interest is

A = P(1 + rt)

where A is the amount of money in the account

P is the principal invested

r is the interest rate in decimal form

t is the time invested in years

We know

P = 300

r = 4% = .04

t = 9 months = 9 months * 1 year/12 months = .75 year

Substituting into the equation

A = 300(1 + .04*.75)

  =300 (1+.03)

  =300(1.03)

   = 309

step-by-step explanation:

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
