You want to save $10,000 to buy a new car. you deposit $6500 in an account earning 7.5% simple interest. after how long will you have enough money in the account to purchase the car? round your answer to the nearest whole number.

After 7.5 years we will have enough money in the account to purchase the car.      

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount needed to be saved = $10000

Principal = $6500

So, Simple Interest = $3500

Rate of Interest = 7.5%

                          = 0.075

Now, Simple Interest = Principal × Rate × Time

⇒ 3500 = 6500 × 0.075 × Time

⇒ 3500 = 487.5 × Time

⇒ Time = 7.18 years ≈ 7.5 years

Hence, after 7.5 years we will have enough money in the account to purchase the car.

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.

the answer is 13/48
