Answer: Number 3; $1250
Number 4; Salesperson A ($7428.30)
Number 5; 18%
Number 6; Rent 780, Food 900, Medical 450, Clothes 300, Miscellaneous 570.
Step-by-step explanation: (No 3) The principal amount is 5000, the rate is 5% (0.05) and the time in years is 5. The formula for calculating simple interest is as follows;
I = P x R x T
I = 5000 x 0.05 x 5
I = 1250
Therefore Joanna will pay $1,250 as interest
(No 4) The amount made by both salespersons is shown as follows;
A = 11% x 67530
A = 0.11 x 67530
A = 7,428.30
B= 8% x 85740
B = 0.08 x 85740
B = 6,859.20
Therefore from the calculations above, salesperson A made more commission and the amount made is $7,428.30
(5) John's earning is 38000 and he paid 6840 for entertainment. The percentage paid for entertainment therefore is as follows;
Percent paid = (entertainment/total income) x 100
Percent paid= (6840/38000) x 100
Percent paid = 684000/38000
Percent paid = 18
Therefore he paid 18% for entertainment
(6) Nora makes a total of 3000 a month broken down as follows;
Rent = (26/100) x 3000
Rent = 0.26 x 3000
Rent = 780
Food = (30/100) x 3000
Food = 0.30 x 3000
Food = 900
Medical = (15/100) x 3000
Medical = 0.15 x 3000
Medical = 450
Clothes = (10/100) x 300
Clothes = 0.10 x 3000
Clothes = 300
Miscellaneous = (19/100) x 3000
Miscellaneous = 0.19 x 3000
Miscellaneous = 570
