2/5x -3

If we plug in 25, we get:

2/5(25) - 3 =

50/5 - 3 =

10 - 3

We can make an equation out of this by defining this mystery number as x. We can also use the word "of", by realizing that the word means multiplication.
Therefore, we have:
2/5x -3
If we plug in 25, we get:
2/5(25) - 3 =
50/5 - 3 =
10 - 3 =
7
Hopefully this helps!

Investigate the difference between compounding annually and simple interest

Gennadij [26K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple interest formula

$A = P (1 + rt)$

Compound interest formula

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

$A = 5000 (1 + 0.025*1)\\A=5000(1.025)\\A=5125$

Simple interest is $125

. $A = 5000 (1 + \frac{0.025}{1})^{1*1} \\A=5000(1.025)\\A= 5125$

Compound interest is $125

c. the result for both a and b are the same

$A = 5000 (1 + 0.025*3) \\A=5000(1.075) \\A=5375$

the simple interest is $375

. $A = 5000 (1 + \frac{0.025}{1})^{1*3}] \\A=5000(1.025)^3 \\A=5000(1.077)\\A= 5385$

the compound interest is $385

f. the result compared, compound interest is $10 more than simple interest

$A = 5000 (1 + 0.02*6) \\A=5000(1.12) \\A=5600$

the simple interest is $600

$A = 5000 (1 + \frac{0.02}{1})^{1*6}] \\A=5000(1.12)^6 \\A=5000(1.9738) \\A= 9869$

the compound interest is $4869

i. the result from g and h, h is over 8 times bigger than g.

j. interest compound annually is not the same as simple interest, only for the case of a and b seeing that it is for 1 year. but for 2years and above there is difference as seen in c to h
