1 answer:
The amount to be paid after 3 years is $23,329.97.
<h3>What is Compound Interest?</h3>In order to compute compound interest, multiply the principle of the original loan by the annual interest rate multiplied by the number of compound periods minus one. You will then be left with the principal amount of the loan plus compound interest.
Given:
P= 20,000
r= 5.2%
t= 3 years
r = R/100
r = 5.2/100
r = 0.052 rate per year,
Now, solve for A
A = P
A = 20,000.00
A = 20,000.00
A = $23,329.97

X = amount of the 18% solution
y = amount of the 40% solution
we know the 18% solution has only 18% of alcohol, the rest is maybe water or something, now, how many liters is 18%? well, 18% of anything is just (18/100) * anything, so, 18% of x is just (18/100) *x or 0.18x, and that's how many liters are there.
likewise, how many liters are there in the 40% solution? well, (40/100) * y, or 0.4y, that many.
we know the mixture has to yield 10 liters at 20% alcohol, how many liters of only alcohol is that? well, (20/100) * 10, or 2 liters.
how much of the 40% solution? well y = 10 - x
y = amount of the 40% solution
