Answer:

a) $515

b) $530.45

c) The amount grew faster in the second year. Because after each year, the amount she has increase, and then the 3% will be applied over a higher amount than before, generating more profit than the previous year.

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

After one year, the amount increased is 3% of the inicial value, so it is 0.03 * 500 = $15

So Sofia has 500 + 15 = $515 at the end of the year.

b)

After the second year, the amount will increase by 3%, but now the amount is 515, so we have 0.03 * 515 = $15.45

So Sofia has 515 + 15.45 = 530.45 at the end of the second year.

c)

The amount grew faster in the second year. Because after each year, the amount she has increase, and then the 3% will be applied over a higher amount than before, generating more profit than the previous year.

Answer:

C. 15 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

B= votes Billy got

K = votes Keeton got

B = 3K


B+K =20

Substitute the first equation into the second equation

3K + K =20

Combine like terms

4K =20

Divide both sides by 4

4K/4 = 20/4

K =5

Keeton got 5 votes

B = 3*K

B = 3*5

B = 15 votes

The sum S of the first n integers is given by the formula S=1/2n(n+1). How many integers must be taken to have a sum of
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

We require to solve for n, hence

\frac{1}{2} n(n + 1) = 325

multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction

n(n + 1) = 650

n² + n = 650

subtract 650 from both sides to have equation in standard form

n² + n - 650 = 0 ← in standard form

(n + 26)(n - 25) = 0 ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for n

n + 26 = 0 ⇒ n = - 26

n - 25 = 0 ⇒ n = 25

however, n > 0 ⇒ n = 25

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

$39.24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's determine the sale price before tax:

0.40($60) = $24 is the discount, so

the sale price is $60 - $24, or $36.

Multiplying this result by 1.09 results in the total price, including tax.  It is $39.24.
