Sam and elise had 41 peaches left at his roadside fruit stand. sam went to the orchard and picked more peaches to stock up the stand. elise sold 8 peaches while sam was gone. there are now 60 peaches at the stand, how many did sam pick? i need a explanation (i will give the first person the answer)

Sam picked 27

Step-by-step explanation:

41-8=33

33+27=60

27.

Step-by-step explanation:

So there was 41 peaches, and they sold 8 so that's 41 - 8 which is 33 peaches. But now there is 60, so you do 60 - 33 gives you how many were picked and 60 - 33 is 27.

for the points

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is 200

step-by-step explanation:

the way the question is worded, it seems to imply the $264 interest is simple interest, not compound interest.

the simple interest for 2 years is $264; the simple interest for 1 year is $132.

$132 interest on a $600 investment means an interest rate of (132/600)*100 = 22%.

the value of $200 at 22% interest compounded annually for three years is

200%281.22%29%5e3

the amount of interest is that value, minus the original $200.
