James deposits $600 in an account that pays 4% simple interest, and $1200 in a second account which has a higher interest rate b
ut is more risky. What interest rate must he get on the second account in order to earn at least $132 in interest for the year?
1 answer:
1) $600 deposited at 4% simple interest for one year generates:
$600 * 4% = $600 * 0040 = $24
2) If he wants to earn $132 in interest for the year, he yet needs to generate $132 - $24 = $108 (additional)
3) The interest rate to generate $108 on a deposit of $1200 in a year, at simple interest is:
$1200 * (r) = $108 => r = 108 / 1200 = 0.09 = 9/100 = 9%

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: not 100% sure about 5 but i think 5) 3p-2
6) a.2a+2a-2
Answer:
3,072m
Step-by-step explanation:
32 × 12× 8= 3,072 (This is only you are multiplying them all)
If you are trying to find the area then its: 384m
P = $70, p = 2.5% = 0.025
q = 1 + 0.025 / 12 = 1.002
Future value of a periodic deposit:
A = P · q · ( q^30 - 1 ) / ( q - 1 )
A = 70 · 1.002 · ( 1.002^30 - 1 ) / ( 1.002 - 1 )
A = $2,166
Answer:
He will have $2.166 in 30 months.
