Answer:

c. The price of grapefruits experienced a reduction 6.01 percentage points greater than the price of pineapples.

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price of Pineapples=$5.15

New price of Pineapples=$3.88

<u>Find change in price of Pineapples</u>

Change in price=original price- new price

=5.15-3.88=1.27

The price of Pineapple was reduced by $1.27

<u>% reduction in price</u>

(reduction value/original value) × 100

=\frac{1.27}{5.15} *100=24.66

=24.66%

The original price of grape fruits=$2.25

New price of grape fruits=$1.56

<u>Change in price of grape fruit</u>

Change in price= original price -new price

=2.25-1.56=0.69

<u>% reduction in price of grape fruits</u>

(reduction value/original value)×100

=\frac{0.69}{2.25} *100=30.67

=30.67%

<u>Answers</u>

The fruit that has its price reduced by a greater percentage is grape fruit

How many percentage points greater = 30.67%-24.66% = 6.01 points

Answer:

The computation of the given question is shown below:-

Total Contributions = Monthly contribution + Amount invested in Ferdinand’s 401(k)

= $250 + $125

= $375  

1. Future Value = PMT [((1 + r)n - 1) ÷ r

Future value = 375 × ((1 + 0.03 ÷ 12) × 12 × 40 - 1) ÷ (0.03 ÷ 12)

= $347,272

2. Ferdinand deposit = Given Amount × Total number of months in a year × Number of years

= $250 × 12 Months × 40 Years

= $120,000

3. The Amount put in by the employer = 50% of $250 ×Total number of months in a year × Number of years

= $125 × 12 Months × 40 Years

= $60,000

4. Interest = Future value - Ferdinand deposit - The Amount put in by the employer

= $347,272 - $120,000 - $60,000

= $167,272
