$\frac{5}{2}x+\frac{1}{4} +\frac{3}{4} x=\frac{1}{8} \\\\\frac{5}{2}(8)x+\frac{1}{4} (8)+\frac{3}{4}(8) x=\frac{1}{8}(8)\\20x+2+6x=1\\20x+6x=1-2\\26x=-1\\\frac{26x}{26} =\frac{-1}{26} \\x=-\frac{1}{26}$

cynthia invests some money in a bank which pays 5% compound interest per year. She wants it to be worth over £8000 at the end of

exis [7]

Answer:

The smallest amount is $\£6,911$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The compound interest formula is equal to

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

where

A is the Final Investment Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods

n is the number of times interest is compounded per year

in this problem we have

$t=3\ years\\ A=\£8,000\\ r=5\%=5/100=0.05\\n=1$

substitute in the formula above

$8,000=P(1+\frac{0.05}{1})^{1*3}$

solve for P

$8,000=P(1.05)^{3}$

$P=8,000/(1.05)^{3}$

$P=\£6,910.70$

Round to the nearest pound she can invest

The smallest amount is $\£6,911$
