Put in terms of a
b=2a
a=a
c=a-15000
2a+a+a-15000=109000
2a+a+a=124000
4a=124000
a=31000
Candidate B received 62000 votes

If $396 is invested at an interest rate of 13% per year and is compounded continuously, how much will the investment be worth in

Vilka [71]

Answer: First option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount invested = $396

Interest rate = 13% per year

Time = 3 years

We will use the "Exponential growth formula" i.e.

$A=Pe^{rt}$

Here,

P denotes Principle amount

r denoted rate of growth

t denotes number of years,

So, it becomes

$A=396e^{0.13\times 3}\\\\A=396e^{0.69}\\\\A=\$584.88$

Hence, First option is correct.

Bob = 12 x T
Sue= 8 (T +2)

12T = 8T + 16
12T-8T=8T-8T +16
4T = 16
4T/4 = 16/4
T= 4 HOURS

PLUG T BACK INTO
12(4) = 8(4) + 16
48=48
