i did the first part, i hope i did it right.
a) the shoe store manager borrowed $17,000.00 from the bank to purchase 1000 pairs of shoes. the bank charges a simple interest rate of 5% per year on a loan to a business. if it takes 3 years to pay back the loan and interest, what is the total amount of interest that the shoe store will pay?
i = p*r*t
or
i=prt
so
17000*0.05*3= the interest
meaning that the interest is: $2550.00
so: the total amount that the shoe store will pay back to the bank is $2550.
question # 2
b) what is the total amount, including interest, which the shoe store must pay on the loan?
question # 3
c) how could you use estimation to determine if your answer is reasonable? explain.

Design an er diagram for keeping track of information about votes taken in the u.s. house of representatives during the current two-year congressional session. the database needs to keep track of each u.s. state's name (e.g., texas', new york', california') and include the region of the state (whose domain is {northeast', midwest', southeast', southwest', west'}). each congress person in the house of representatives is described by his or her name, plus the district represented, the start date when the congressperson was first elected, and the political party to which he or she belongs (whose domain is {republican', democrat', 'independent', other'}). the database keeps track of each bill (i.e., proposed law), including the bill name, the date of vote on the bill, whether the bill passed or failed (whose domain is {yes', no'}), and the sponsor (the congressperson(s) who sponsored - that is, proposed - the bill). the database also keeps track of how each congressperson voted on each bill (domain of vote attribute is {yes', no', abstain', absent'}). additional information:
