b : interest = 7500*3.5*5/100. ans : 1312.5
1312.5 + 7500 to get the total = 8812.5 that's the final answer :)
c : 2^2 *3 *5
BUT WHY?? they told you per year so what i did was i calculated the simple interest for 1 year, then i used compound interest to get it for 5 years

okay then, but what about my method in solving the interests
The Question Says Calculate the amount she has after 5 years. and the question said that she used simple interest so don't use the compound interest rule :) the problem is that u think the question is too complicated but in fact it's so easy :) stay relaxed and stop thinking that every question has a hidden trick in it :)

i dont get the indices
im really weak at it
like when they tell me to find x
90^x=a number

Or you could use the calc to find the answer.
eg. If they have given

2^x=512
you could just type this in the calc
In512/In2(Or substitute In with log)
The answer's 9.

ok so when i see per year, i ignore it ??? why do we add 7500 at the end?
Because The Question said ( Calculate The Amount Of Money She Has After 5 Years ) Not Only The Interest. So We Add 7500 To The interest we calculated to get the total amount of money she has at the end of the years :)
