Simple interest
It costs to borrow money. The rent one pays for the use of money is called the
interest . The amount of money that is being borrowed or loaned is called the
principal or
present value . Simple interest is paid only on the original amount borrowed. When the money is loaned out, the person who borrows the money generally pays a fixed rate of interest on the principal for the time period he keeps the money. Although the interest rate is often specified for a year, it may be specified for a week, a month, or a quarter, etc. The credit card companies often list their charges as monthly rates, sometimes it is as high as 1.5% a month.
Simple interest
If an amount
is borrowed for a time
at an interest rate of
per time period, then the simple interest is given by
The total amount
also called the accumulated value or the future value is given by
A Visa credit card company charges a 1.5% finance charge each month on the unpaid balance. If Martha owes $2350 and has not paid her bill for three months, how much does she owe?
Before we attempt the problem, the reader should note that in this problem the rate of finance charge is given per month and not per year.
The total amount Martha owes is the previous unpaid balance plus the finance charge.
Once again, we can compute the amount directly by using the formula
Bacteria doesn't produce energy they are dependent upon their substrate in case of lack of nutrients they are able to make spores which helps them to sustain in harsh environments
_Adnan
But not all bacteria make spores, l mean Eukaryotic cells have Mitochondria which acts as powerhouse for them, since bacteria don't have it, what is the substitution for it?
Assimilatory nitrate reduction is a process that occurs in some microorganisms, such as bacteria and archaea, in which nitrate (NO3-) is reduced to nitrite (NO2-), and then further reduced to ammonia (NH3).
Elkana
This process is called assimilatory nitrate reduction because the nitrogen that is produced is incorporated in the cells of microorganisms where it can be used in the synthesis of amino acids and other nitrogen products
There are nothing like emergency disease but there are some common medical emergency which can occur simultaneously like Bleeding,heart attack,Breathing difficulties,severe pain heart stock.Hope you will get my point .Have a nice day ❣️
