Elanso [62]

Answer: $11836.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given. That :

Amount invested = $5000

Interest rate = 9% = 0.09

Period = 10 years, compounded annually

Using the compound interest formula :

A = p(1 + r/n)^nt

A = final amount

P = principal or invested amount

r = rate of interest

n = number of times interest Is applied per period

t = period

A = 5000(1 + 0.09/1)^(1*10)

A = 5000(1.09)^10

A = 5000 * 2.36736367459211723401

A = 11836.81837296058617005

= $11836.8

The Magic Dragon has 2013 heads. Leo the Brave is cutting off the Dragon's heads at a speed of 5 heads per minute. The Dragon's

aivan3 [116]

Answer: The answer is 1833 heads and 11 hours, 11 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the Magic Dragon has 2013 heads. The brave Leo is cutting off the Dragon's heads at a speed of 5 heads per minute. But, the Dragon's heads are growing back at a speed of 2 heads per minute.

So, the number of heads of Dragon that are decreasing per minute = 3.

Therefore, after 1 hour, i.e., 60 minutes, The number of heads of the Dragon

= 2013 - 60 × 3 = 2013 - 180 = 1833 heads.

Now, the fight will last until all the heads of the Dragon are cut. Let the fight lasts for 'x' minutes, then

$2013-x\times 3=0\\\\\Rightarrow 3x=2013\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{2013}{3}=671.$

Hence the fight lasts for 671 minutes, i.e., 11 hours and 11 minutes.

Thus, the Dragon will have 1833 heads after 1 hour and the fight will last for 11 hour and 11 minutes.

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

The percent increase in the employment from the year $2000$ to year $2010$ is $15.07\%$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Employment in the year $2000$ $=146$ million.

Employment in the year $2010$ $=168$ million.

To find: The percent increase in the employment.

Solution: We have,

Employment in the year $2000$ $=146$ million.

Employment in the year $2010$ $=168$ million.

Increase in employment $=168-146=22$ million.

Percent increase $=\frac{\textrm{Increase in employment}}{\textrm{Original employment}}\times100\%$

Percent increase $=\frac{22}{146}\times100\%=15.07\%$

Hence, the percent increase in the employment from the year $2000$ to year $2010$ is $15.07\%$ .
