Answer:
Amount ($451.9), Interest ($51.9)
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to use the formula of A = P(1 +
)^n*t
A = Total Amount
P = Principle/Deposited money
R = Annual Interest Rate
N = Number of times compounder per year
T = time in years
We have P = $400, r = 2.47%, n = 1 and t = 5 years.
Now lets plug it all in!



A = 451.9
Now we need to find the interest...
We will use A = P + I since A is 451.9 and P = 400
451.9 = 400 + I
I = 451.9 - 400
I = 51.9
Multiply all terms in the first equation by 2 and all terms in the second by 3.
You should obtain:
6x + 16y = 34
-6x + 27y = 9
------------------
43y =43, and so y = 1. Subbing 1 for y in the first eq'n, we get
3x + 8(1) = 17, or 3x = 9, or x = 3.
The solution is (3, 1).
It is irrational because it does not repeat a pattern nor does it stop.
