The given formula is
V = C(1-r)^{t}

Therefore
(1-r)^{t} =  \frac{V}{C} \\\\ 1-r = ( \frac{V}{C} )^{1/t} \\\\ r = 1 - ( \frac{V}{C} )^{1/t}

Given:
C = $25,000
V = $12,000
t = 4.5 years

C/V = 0.48
1/t = 0.2222
Therefore
r = 1 - 0.48^{0.2222} = 0.1505 = 15.05\%

Answer: 15% (nearest integer)

One of the problems with our current election system is??
12345 [234]

Answer:

Assuming you mean the US election a problem with our electron is the person who wins the most popular vote doesn't always win.

Why is this a problem?

We vote for who we want as a president as it should work, but then the most elected doesn't always become president. Almost like our votes do not matter and is very discouraging.

Hope this helps!
