INTEREST PROBLEMS
▪ Interest is money paid for the use of money; it is the cost of borrowing money.

▪ The total amount borrowed is called the principal. The principal can be the price
of our new car; we pay the bank interest for loaning us money.

▪ Interest rate, expressed as a percentage, is the amount charged for the use of
the principal for a given time, usually in years.
Simple interest is interest that is paid only on principal during a period of time.
Compound interest, which is interest paid on both principal and the interest
accrued over a period of time.

MIXTURE PROBLEMS

▪ Whenever two or more distinct ingredients are combined the result is a


mixture.

▪ Our choice at a gas station is typically 87, 89, and 93 octane. The octane
number is the number that represents the percentage of iso-octane in
fuel; 89 octane is significantly overpriced.
▪ Therefore, if your car requires 89 octane, it would be more cost effective

to mix 87 and 93 octane.

DISTANCE–RATE–TIME PROBLEMS

▪ The next example deals with distance, rate, and time. On a road trip, you
see a sign that says your destination is 90 miles away, and your
speedometer reads 60 miles per hour.

▪ Dividing 90 miles by 60 miles per hour tells you that your arrival will be in
1.5 hours.
▪ If the rate, or speed, is assumed to be constant, then the equation that

relates distance (d), rate (r), and time (t) is given by d = r • t.
