A = P(1+i)ⁿ ==> compound interest where P= initial Capital, I =interest in% and n the number of years. A is the total amount collected over n years

A= 500(1.0325)¹² ==> 500(1+0.0325)¹² ==> 500(1+3.25%)¹²
The mistake is:
Either she has a yearly interest of 3.25% & she wrote 12 instead of 3 (years)
OR
She got a quarterly interest of 3.25% and in this case she should have divided 3.25& by 12 (4 quarter a year ==> 12 quarter for 3 years) by keeping as exponent the number 12 (right)

1)Now the Amount of A (as she wrote it) =500(1.0325)¹² = 734
2) If she wrote 12 instead of 3, and after correction A=500(1.0325)³ =550
3) But if she had taken the quarterly interest for a period of 3 years (12 Qrtr)
 then A =500[1+(3.25%)/4]¹² = 551

At CD Shack, all used CDs are the same price. Jesse spent $54 and Mimi spent $66 on used CDs. What is the most each used CD coul
Alinara [238K]
Hey there
__________
The correct answer is
Whatever each CD costs, what each person paid is that cost times the number of CDs purchased (no sales tax for this problem).
So, the price of one CD is a factor of $66 (a number of $ that divides $66 evenly).
In theory, it could be $1, $2, $3, $6, $11, $22, $66.
It could even be $0.50, $0.25, $0.20, $0.10, $0.05,...
Also, the price of one CD must be a factor of $54. such as $54,$27,$18,$9,$6,$3,$2,$1,... .
You are looking for the most that price could be.


The grew greatest price that is in both lists is $6.

How can you make those lists?
You can start with the total price, then the price divided by 2, by 3, by whatever whole number you can divide it.

Otherwise, you could find the greatest common factor of 66 and 54
from the prime factorization of both numbers.

Edith’s age is 1/4 of Ronald’s age. In how many years will Edith’s age be 1/3 of Ronald’s age if Edith is 20 years old?
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

x = Edith's age = 20 years

y = Ronald's age

x = 20 = y/4

y = 20×4 = 80 years

in z years we have

(x + z) = (y + z)/3

(20 + z) = (80 + z)/3

3(20 + z) = 80 + z

60 + 3z = 80 + z

60 + 2z = 80

2z = 20

z = 10

in 10 years Edith's age will be 1/3 of Ronald's age.

then Edith will be 30, and Ronald will be 90.

30 = 90/3

correct.

Find the sum of the first 7 terms of the following series, to the nearest integer.
givi [52]

Answer:

9.983796

Step-by-step explanation:

Every time, it becomes smaller by 5/2 (6 divided by 5/2 is 12/5.... 12/5 divided by 5/2 is 24/25)

So, the first seven terms are 6, 2.4, 0.96, 0.384, 0.1536, 0.06144, 0.024756. Add them together and your answer would be 9.983796
