Amber and Jorge were talking about how to solve the problem 5/6 of 40. Amber said, “I can solve this by finding 1/6 of 40 and multiplying the answer by 5.” Jorge said, “I can solve this by finding 1/6 of 40 and subtracting the answer from 40.” Will both strategies result in the correct answer? Explain why or why not.

instagram is better than go there instead lol

step-by-step explanation:

where are the options?

step-by-step explanation:

$5.41

step-by-step explanation:

$20 - $14.51 = $5.49.

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.
