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.

A circular park has 36 m diameter. Amira jogs around it 5 times every morning. How far does Amira jog every day?
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

D=565.6m

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Diameter d=36m

Number of times jogged N=5

Generally the equation for Distance traveled is mathematically given by

D=Circumference of Park * Number of times jogged

Where

Circumference of Park c is mathematically give as

 c=2\pi r

 c=2 3.142*\frac{36}{2}

 c=113.1

Therefore

 D=c*N

 D=113.1*5

 D=565.6m
