The rule is add 1.05 because it's 1.8 first then it's 2.85 so you add 1.05 to 1.8 and you will get 2.85. Same with the other numbers.
Answer: 5 pack
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Sebastian bought a 30-pack of mechanical pencils and plans to give his friends an equal number of pencils to the 6 friends.
Therefore, each friend will get:
= 30 / 6
= 5 packs
1. Balance after 1 year with simple interest= 600 + (2.5 x 12) = 600 + 30 = $630
2. Balance after 1 year with compounded interest = P ( 1 + 

= 600 ( 1 + 
= 600 (1.0511) = $630.66 = approx. $630
