Mr. Noel borrowed money from his cousin at a rate of 10% simple interest. After 1 year, $440 paid off the loan. How much did Mr. Noel originally borrow?

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula for calculating the simple interest expressed as;

Simple Interest = Principal * rate * time/100

Note that the principal is the amount he originally borrowed

I = PRT/100 1

Amount paid off A = Principal+Interest

A = P+I 2

From equation 2; I = A-P 3

Substitute equation 3 into 1;

A-P = PRT/100

Given A = $440, R = 10%, Time = 1year

Substitute the given parameters into the resulting equation;

440 - P = P*10*1/100

440-P = 10P/100

440-P = 0.1P

440 = 0.1P+P

440 = 1.1P

Divide through by 1.1;

1.1P/1.1 = 440/1.1

P = $400

Hence the amount Mr Noel originally borrow is $400

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
