Ms. Sue - Thank you so much! I'm a 3rd grade teacher/mom who has NO CLUE what to do in 7th grade pre-algebra! My son says thank you for verifying his answer and thought process.

Is there any you can help us with either of the other 2 problems I posted about interest?
Answered by
Ms. Sue
I'm not sure about those. I was a middle school social studies and English teacher. But a math tutor will probably answer your other questions.
