Task 2: Interest in Finance
Interest is a concept familiar to most people: every credit card in existence has a term called
annual percentage rate (APR), which is an interest rate. Suppose you charged $1,000 to a
credit card that has a minimum payment each month equal to the interest owed. Can you
figure out how much the interest rate is based on this amount?
The formula for simple interest is
where / is the amount you will pay in interest,
is the rate at which interest will accrue, P is the principal (amount borrowed), and m is the
number of times the interest is applied.
a. To solve for the interest rate of your credit card, you need to understand which variables in
the above formula you have. If your minimum monthly payment is $22 on the $1,000 credit
card bill, which variables do you know the values of?

b. Manipulate the formula so it will calculate the interest rate you are paying instead of the
amount of money you are paying.

3   .08c = 7.50+.05c   250 pages

step-by-step explanation:

1.   sometimes

the theoretical probability of rolling a 1 is 1/6.   perhaps you got really lucky and never rolled a 1   in those 60 times.   your experimental probability is 0.   or perhaps you rolled a 1   20 times.   your experimental probability is 20/60 is 1/3.     it really just depends on how you rolled in that experiment.

2.   never

the probability of the event occurring is 1.   that is being 100 % sure it will happen.   that is the maximum amount of confidence we have.

3.   no customer card cost:   .08 times number of pages

customer card cost:   7.50 + .05 times number of pages

we want to find when it costs the same amount, so we will set these equal

let c = number of pages

.08c = 7.50+.05c

subtract .05c from each side

.08c-.05c = 7.5+.05c-.05c

.03c=7.5

divide each side by .03

.03c/.03 = 7.5/03

c =250  

the cost is the same at 250 pages
