You can put this solution on YOUR website!
she earned two * 1.38 interest for the 2 days.
\n" ); document.write( "that would be equal to 2.76.
\n" ); document.write( "the percent interest rate on that would be 2.76 / 1000 * 100
\n" ); document.write( "the interest rate is 2.76 / 1000 which is equal to .00276.
\n" ); document.write( "that is multiplied by 100 to to get .276%.
\n" ); document.write( "selection A gets you 2.76 * 1000 / 100 = = 276.
\n" ); document.write( "selection B gets you 2 * 1.38 * 1000 = 2.76 * 1000 = 276000.
\n" ); document.write( "selection C gets you 1.38 / 1000 = .00138
\n" ); document.write( "selection D gets you 2 * 1.38 / 1000 = 2.76 / 1000 = .00276.
\n" ); document.write( "selection E gets you 2.76 / 1000 = .00276.
\n" ); document.write( "if i understood the problem correctly, none of those answer is correct.
\n" ); document.write( "the answer should be 2 * 1.38 / 1000 = interest rate of .00276.
\n" ); document.write( "that need to be multiplied by 100 to get interest rate = .276%.
\n" ); document.write( "selection D and E will give you the correct interest rate, but they will not give you the correct interest rate percent, unless you multiply them by 100.
\n" ); document.write( "if selection A was 2.76 / 1000 * 100, or 2.76 * 100 / 1000, then it would be correct, but it's not.
\n" ); document.write( "
