How do i calculate the average interest rate of all my 5 credit cards?
Q. For instance if credit card A has an interest rate of 12% and the balance is $7000, cc B has a rate of 9% and the balance is $1300, cc C has a rate of 16% and the balance is $3000,... What is the average interest rate? A website that explains how to calculate it would be helpful also.

A. I think you're looking for more of a weighted average: 7000 X 12% = 840 1300 X 9% = 117 Add the 7000 and 1300 = 8300 Add the 840 and 117 = 957 Divide the 957 by the 8300 your average weighted interest is 11.53%

How does a heart rate monitor calculate the amount of calories your burn?
Q. I heard that you cannot figure out how many calories your burn by using your heart rate so what does a heart rate monitor use to show you the amount of calories burned?
Asked by Kate - Thu May 1 16:08:22 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It's just an estimate. Most ask for height/weight and age. So it's an estimate based on your heart rate and those other variables. It's only an estimate though.

How is the unemployment rate determined?
Q. I ask this because where I live the unemployment rate is shown to be 8% the government website says there are 575 people unemployed. However, I personally know of a single company that cut that many jobs as well as many others that either shutdown or laid off. So the true number would have to be closer to 1000-1200 making the rate greater than 15 %. Do all unemployed people not count or is there some type of scale used to calculate this?

A. The official government unemployment numbers are determined by the number of people collecting unemployment insurance.
