Kenneth has 2,000$ to invest
Katarina [22]

The calculations for 2, 4, 8 year can be derived as follows,

For simple interest:

                   S.I = \frac{P*T*R}{100}

P= principle

T= Time

R= Rate

For 2 year;

            S.I = \frac{2000*2*5.6}{100}=  $224

           Amount = $2224

For 4 year;

            S.I = \frac{2000*4*5.6}{100}= $448

           Amount = $2448

For 8 year;

             S.I = \frac{2000*8*5.6}{100}= $896

           Amount = $2896

What is the interval notation for the graph shown below?
Scrat [10]
<h3>Answer: Bottom left corner (southwest corner)</h3>

(4, \infty)

The left endpoint is x = 4, but we don't include this endpoint because of the open hole. We use a parenthesis to indicate "don't include the endpoint"

The right endpoint is positive infinity. We always use a parenthesis with either infinity since we cannot reach infinity

The interval from 4 to infinity is written as (4, \infty) which is like saying 4 < x < \infty

Last month a museum received €21000 in donations.After taking off the cost of monthly bills,,the museum spent the remaining mone
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

$13,500.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent money spent on monthly bills.

We have been given that last month a museum received €21000 in donations. The ratio of bills to donations was 5:14.

We will use proportions to solve our given problem.

\frac{\text{Bills}}{\text{Donations}}=\frac{5}{14}

\frac{x}{21000}=\frac{5}{14}  

\frac{x}{21000}*21000=\frac{5}{14}*21000

x=5*1500

x=7500

Now, we will subtract $7500 from donations to find the amount spent on new exhibitions as:

\$21,000-\$7500=\$13,500

Therefore, they spent $13,500 on new exhibitions.
