Kira had some money sitting in a savings account that earns 2.75% simple interest each year. She left it there for 8 years and earned $495 in interest. How much money did she have in the account to begin with.

$2250

Step-by-step explanation:

First, converting R percent to r a decimal

r = R/100 = 2.75%/100 = 0.0275 per year,

then, solving our equation

I = 2250 × 0.0275 × 8 = 495

I = $ 495.00

The simple interest accumulated

on a principal of $ 2,250.00

at a rate of 2.75% per year

for 8 years is $ 495.00.

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
