The interest on an investment varies directly as the rate of interest. if the interest is $48 when the interest rate is
5%, find the interest when the rate is
7.9%.

75.84

Step-by-step explanation:

Interest(I) varies directly with the rate of interest(r) means there is some constant k such that I=k*r .

We are given when I=48 and r=0.05.  Plugging this in the equation I=k*r will allow us to find the constant, k, no matter the I and/or r asked to use later in the problem.

Substituting I=48 and r=0.05 into I=k*r gives:

48=k*0.05

Divide both sides by 0.05:

48/0.05 =k

Putting left hand side into the calculator:

960=k

So no matter the I or r, the equation I=960*r holds.

So we are asked to find I if r=0.079 .

I=960*r with r=0.079 gives:

I=960(0.079)

I=75.84

6.9

step-by-step explanation:

simple math really

6 1/2 times 0.6 = 3.9

but if you are just doing 6 and not 6 1/2 then the answer is 3.6

answer:   35 % is the probability of a late departure or an early arrival.

step-by-step explanation:

let l represents the late departure and e represents the early departure.

then, according to the question,

p(l) = 12 %,   p(e) = 27 % and = 4 %

and, we have to find out,

but, we know that,

which is the required equation that will use to find the probability of a late departure or an early departure.

therefore,   the probability of a late departure or an early arrival =   35 %
