vfiekz [6]

Lets put this into an equation
x + 1/5 * x = 36
1.2x = 36
x = 30
1/5x = 6
So our final answer is 6 and 30.

Now there is a square city of unknown size with a gate at the center of each side. There is a tree 20 b from the north gate. Tha

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

The length of each side of the city is 250b

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$a = 20$ --- tree distance from north gate

$b =14$ --- movement from south gate

$c = 1775$ --- movement in west direction from (b)

See attachment for illustration

Required

Find x

To do this, we have:

$\triangle ADE \sim \triangle ACB$ --- similar triangles

So, we have the following equivalent ratios

$AE:DE = AB:CB$

Where:

$AE = 20\\ DE = x/2 \\ AB = 20 + x + 14 \\ CB = 1775$

Substitute these in the above equation

$20:x/2 = 20 + x + 14: 1775$

$20:x/2 = x + 34: 1775$

Express as fraction

$\frac{20}{x/2} = \frac{x + 34}{1775}$

$\frac{40}{x} = \frac{x + 34}{1775}$

Cross multiply

$x *(x + 34) = 1775 * 40$

Open bracket

$x^2 + 34x = 71000$

Rewrite as:

$x^2 + 34x - 71000 = 0$

Expand

$x^2 + 284x -250x - 71000 = 0$

Factorize

$x(x + 284) -250(x + 284)= 0$

Factor out x + 284

$(x - 250)(x + 284)= 0$

Split

$x - 250 = 0 \ or\ x + 284= 0$

Solve for x

$x = 250 \ or\ x =- 284$

x can't be negative;

So:

$x = 250$

1) The accumulated amount after six years and the total interest that Trevor will receive if the interest rate is 4.5% per annum simple interest after 6 years are <u>R25,400</u> and <u>R5,400</u> respectively.

2) The accumulated amount after six years and the total interest that Trevor will receive if the interest rate is 4.5% per annum compound interest after 6 years are<u> R26,045.20</u> and <u>R6,045.20</u> respectively.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3><h3>Simple Interest:</h3>

Principal = R20,000

Investment period = 6 years

Interest rate = 4.5%

Simple interest for 6 years = R5,400 ($20,000 x 6 x 4.5%)

Principal + Interest = R25,400 (R20,000 + R5,400)

<h3>Compound Interest:</h3>

Principal = R20,000

Investment period = 6 years

Interest rate = 4.5%

N (# of periods) = 6 years

I/Y (Interest per year) = 4.5%

PV (Present Value) = R20,000

PMT (Periodic Payment) = R0

<u>Results</u>:

FV = R26,045.20

Total Interest = R6,045.2
