Valerie took out a loan to pay off some bills. she borrowed $1,200 at an annual interest rate of 9%. how much interest did she pay on the loan the first year?

$108

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find the interest. You do this by multiplying the amount borrowed by the interest rate. In this case, you multiply 1,200 by 9% (0.09). 1,200 * 0.09 is $108. That's the amount she paid on the loan in her first year.

75 tickets have been sold so far.

step-by-step explanation:

in this question it is clearly mentioned that 45 children's tickets have been sold and this number is 60% of the total tickets sold.

now let's assume the total number of tickets sold be x.

then 60% of x = 45

⇒

⇒ x(.6) = 45

by dividing with .6 on both the sides of the equation

⇒ x = 75

therefore 75 tickets have been sold so far.
