A puppy will grow 28 in it is currently 1 foot tall
ki77a [65]
♥ If he will grow to 28inches and he is currently 1ft tall, then he needs to grow 16 more inches to get his full height.
♥ I did this by solving what was in 1ft (12 inch) so 28-12=16.
♥ Therefore he needs to grow 16 more inches. 
♥Hope this helps♥

$668 at 9.25% for 5 years
madreJ [45]

Answer:

$21.17

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple Interest=P(1+r)^t

Compounded Interest=P(e^rt)

SI=668*(1.0925)^5

SI=1039.64

CI=668(e^(0.0925*5))

CI=1060.81

1060.81-1039.64=21.17

So the difference is $21.17, thus doing compounded interest is better.
