problem#34
at an investment of $1500- interest is $165
so,at an investment of $2500- interest will be?
-use the cross product method to find (x)
$1500=$165
$2500=x

x=($2500*$165)/$1500
x=$412500/$1500
x=$4125/$15
-yo answer will be
x=$275
-if u want to check ur answer, substitute (x), into your cross product
$1500=$165
$2500=$275
-and then (criss/cross)
$1500*$275=$2500*$165
$412500=$412500
