Explanation

(a) interests = \(\frac{25000 *3 * 21}{100}\)

= $ 15750.00

amount paid = 25000 + 15750 

= $40,750.00

amounts paid by year = 40750.00 / 2

= $ 20375.00

(b) let's be consecutive numbers be X and X + 1

3X + 2(X + 1) = 17

3X + 2X + 2 = 17

5x = 15

x = 3

some of the numbers = 3 + 4 = 7

Percentage = \(\frac{3}{7}\) * 100

= 42.857 or 42.9%
