When Owen bought a remote-control helicopter, he agreed to pay a 9% shipping and handling charge. If Owen paid $4.86 in shipping and handling, how much must the helicopter have cost?

The helicopter costs 54 dollars and 9% of 54 is 4.86.

Step-by-step explanation:

9% of what number = 4.86

... is equivalent to:

9% × ? = 4.86

- Percent (%) means 'out of one hundred'-

(100 × 4.86) ÷ 9 =

486 ÷ 9 =

54

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.

actually your concept is wrong

step-by-step explanation:

150% of x =300

150x=300×100

x=(300×100)÷150

x=200
