An interest rate of 5 percent means that someone borrowing $1,000 will have to make interest payments of $50 per year â in addition to eventually paying back the amount that was originally borrowed.eople often talk about the Fed setting this interest rate, but that's not quite accurate.

A human female typically has about 400,000 follicles/potential eggs, all formed before birth. Only several hundred (about 480) of these âeggsâ will actually ever be released during her reproductive years. Normally, in humans, after the onset of puberty, due to the stimulation of follicular-stimulating-hormone (FSH) one âeggâ per cycle matures and is released from its ovary. One month the left ovary will release a potential egg and the next month the right ovary will release a potential egg.
