Last year a certain bond with a face value of $5,000 yielded 8 percent of its face value in interest. if that interest was approximately 6.5 percent of the bond's selling price, approximately what was the bond's selling price? a. $4,063
b. $5,325
c. $5,351
d. $6,000
e. $6,154

E. $6,154

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent selling price of the bond.

We have been given that last year a certain bond with a face value of $5,000 yielded 8 percent of its face value in interest.

Let us calculate 8% of $5,000 to find amount of interest as:

We are also told that the amount of interest was approximately 6.5 percent of the bond's selling price. 6.5 percent of the bond's selling price would be .

We can represent our given information in an equation as:

Therefore, the selling price of the bond was approximately $6,154 and option E is the correct choice.

3-4

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is 3-4 because both 45 and 60 has a multiple of 15.

45/3=15

60/4=15

therefore the odds against selecting a red is 4-3

d. $180

step-by-step explanation:

if the dimensions of the room is 9ft by 12 ft, we have the area of the floor as,

so the area of the floor is 108 square feet, converting that into square yards we get,

the cost of carpet is $15 per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 12 square yards is,

hence, the cost of carpet is $180.

assuming the dimensions of the room be,

15 ft by 12 ft

so, the area of the floor of that room is,

we can convert 180 square feet into square yards, we know that,

1 sq ft = 0.111 sq yard

so, 180 square feet is,

so the area of floor is 20 square yards.

now, the cost of carpet is 15 dollars per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 20 square yards is,

so, it will cost $300.
