EXAMPLE
Suppose SHS requires 36 hours of community service.
You spent 56 hours volunteering at a hospital. What
percent of the requirement have you fulfilled?
SIMPLE INTEREST
Today banks use compound interest, which we will study in Chapter 8.
Compound interest is based on simple interest. Its formula is I = prt.
(I = interest, p = principal, r = rate per year, t = time in years)
Ex: I = ? if p = $340, r = 6%, t = 3 yr
FINANCE
Suppose you invested $900 for two years. You earned $67.50
in simple interest. What was the annual rate of interest?
