16, first you need to add on the four he lost to the 18 he ended with.
Answer:
31 years to triple the investment
Step-by-step explanation:
Initial investment = 300
Triple amount that is final amount = 300*3= 900
rate of interest = 3.5 % = 0.035
we need to find out number of years (t)
for compounded continuously we use formula

A is the final amount
P is the initial amount
r is the rate of interest
t is the number of years

Divide both sides by 300

take 'ln' on both sides

ln(3) = 0.035t ln(e)
ln(e)= 1

t= 31.3889
Round to nearest whole number
t= 31 years
First, a scale factor is the ratio of the corresponding sides in two similar geometric figures.
To find the scale factor:
1. Locate two corresponding sides (one on each figure).
2. Write the ratio of one length to the other.
And there you go! That's the scale figure from one figure to the other
Hope that helps and correct me if I'm wrong!
Multiply 40.5 by 800
you get 32400
then divide by 100 to get to meters
324 meters
