1. I will assume you want simple interest rather than compound interest, judging by the level of the other questions.
amount paid = 6(516.5) = 3099
interest paid = 99
I = PRT
R = I/(PT) = 99/((3000)(.5)) = .066 or 6.6%
How did you get .33% ????

2. This question makes little sense to me

3. deposit = (667.5+126.5+482-25) = $1251
Where did you get the 75 cents from ??

4. taxes = .02(2000) + .03(4000) + .045(4000) + .06(10900)
= 994

5. I would add 5.5+4.125+2.75+2.75
= 15.125
I would round it off to 15.1 , since the least accurate measurement only has one decimal
