    1.) 3/24 = 0.125

    0.125 x 100 = 12.5%

    2) 500x0.06=$30

    500+30=$530

    1. Since 24 is the total and 3 is the part, if we divide 3 by 24, then multiply the quotient by 100, you should get the percentage.

    3/24 = 0.125

    0.125 x 100 = 12.5 (%)

    2. I don't exactly remember l=prt, but let me try.

    A 6% increase is the same thing as 106% of the original number. (100% is whole, and a 6% increase from that.)

    So, 6% increase from $500 (since the deposit was kept only for 1 year), would be 106% of $500...

    500 x 1.06 = $530

    Hope it helped :)

    p.s. If you could remind me what l = prt is, I will add it in my description, I mean, if you want to :)

    3/24=.125 move the decimal over 2 and its 12.5%

    x/500=.06 solve for x and get $30

    30+500=$530
