Calculate the account balance for $800 left on deposit for 255 days earning 5.25% compounded daily.

Svetradugi [14.3K]

The value would be 829.89.

The formula we use is

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

where A is the total amount, p is the principal, r is the rate expressed as a decimal number, n is the number of times per year the interest is compounded, and t is the number of years.

We will use 800 for p; 5.25/100 = 0.0525 for r; 365 for n; and (255/365) for t (since it is not a full year):
$A=800(1+\frac{0.0525}{365})^{\frac{255}{365}\times365}
\\
\\=800(1+\frac{0.0525}{365})^{255}=829.89$

Which statement best explains the value of 16 − (−3)?

amm1812

Answer:

The additive inverse of −3 is +3, so 16 − (−3) = 19

negative 6 over 8 minus negative 1 over 8 = negative 5 over 8; therefore, the distance from A to B is absolute value of negative 5 over 8 equals negative 5 over 8 units

Because it is 3 units to the left of 2 on a horizontal number line

Step-by-step explanation:

The answers are the explanation.

Comment on the second question

Note that the second question asks for the distance from -6/8 to -1/8. Ordinarily, the distance from A to B would be computed as B - A. In this set of answer choices, it is computed as |A - B|. In the end, the result is the same.

Personally, I would compute the distance between points on a number line by subtracting the left point from the right point. Here, that would also correspond to B - A.

Comment on choosing 'word' answers

In a set of answers like these, one way to choose answers is simply to eliminate the ones that make a false statement. Often, you are left with only the correct answer choice.

For example, the statement "the additive inverse of -3 is -3" is a false statement, so the first two answer choices can be eliminated. Likewise, the statement 16 -(-3) = 13 is false, so that choice can be eliminated. The one remaining answer is the correct one.

have a good day hope this helped!

A Standard number is<br> tossed find each<br> Probability.<br> P (4 or less than 6)

Klio2033 [76]

the probability of rolling 4 or a number less than 6 is P = 5/6

<h3 /><h3>How to find the probability?</h3>

The standard number cube has the outcomes {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

We want to find the probability of rolling 4 or a number less than 6. (4 is a number less than 6).

The outcomes that meet that condition are:

{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

So 5 out of 6 outcomes meet the condition, then the probability is:

P(4 or less than 6) = 5/6
