A principal of $5000 was invested in a savings account for 4 years. If the interest earned for the period was $400, what was the interest rate?
your equation for interest
where is final amount; is initial amount; is rate; and is time
the rate was about 1.94%
----------------------------------------------
Allen bought 20 stamps at the post office in 37¢ and 20¢ denominations. If the total cost of the stamps was $7.06, how many 37¢ stamps did Allen buy?
define variables:
s=amount of 20¢
l=amount of 37¢
define equations:
s+l=20
0.2s+.37l=7.06
combine:
s=20-l
so....
0.2(20-l)+.37l=7.06
4-.2l+.37l=7.06
.17l=3.06
l=18 Allen bought eighteen 37¢ stamps.

The perimeter of a rectangle is to be no greater than 300 in., and the length must be 125 in. Find the maximum width of the rectangle.
perimeter<2(length)+2(width)
300>2(125)+2(w)
300>250+2w
50>2w
25>w the maximum width must be less than twenty five .... (if you only concidered integer values, than the value would be 24)
-------------------------------------------
One number is 8 less than another. If 5 times the smaller number minus 2 times the larger number is 14, find the two numbers.
define variables:
l=larger number
s=smaller number
create equations:
l-8=s
5s-2l=14
combine:
s=l-8
so ....
5s-2l=14
5(l-8)+2l=14
5l-40+2l=14
3l=54
l=18
s=10
