Question 1
1.
Which of the following are equivalent expressions to the definition of a rate r=\frac{d}{t}? That is, which can be derived by starting with the definition and using valid equation-manipulation steps? (Suggestion: solve the rate definition for each of the different variables, and find your answers in the choices below.)

In finance, the amount of money you deposit or borrow is often called a "principle", and the amount of interest you earn or owe is calculated as a percent of that principle amount. If interest is "simple" (or "non-compounded"), we can use the formula P=Irt, where P and I represent the principle and interest, r the interest rate per time period, and t the number of time periods, Which equation will give the rate in terms of the other factors?
