Solution:
77.50 = 0.15x + 10
77.50 - 10 + 0.15x + 10 - 10
67.50 = 0.15x
0.15x = 67.50
0.15x/0.15 = 67.50/0.015
x = 450
---------------------------------------
Check:
77.50 = 0.15(450) + 10
77.50 = 67.50 + 10
77.50 = 77.50

Answer:
a) amount in the bank after 7 years if interest is compounded quarterly is $6,605
b) amount in the bank after 7 years if interest is compounded quarterly is $6,612.57
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given:
Principal Amount P= 5000
Rate r= 4% = 0.04
time t = 7 years
The formula used is: 
where A is future value, P is principal amount, r is rate, n is compounded value and t is time
a) Find the amount in the bank after 7 years if interest is compounded quarterly?
If interest is compounded quarterly then n = 4
Using values given in question and finding A

So, amount in the bank after 7 years if interest is compounded quarterly is $6,605
b) Find the amount in the bank after 7 years if interest is compounded monthly?
If interest is compounded quarterly then n = 12
Using values given in question and finding A

So, amount in the bank after 7 years if interest is compounded quarterly is $6,612.57
So your going to want to place 1/3 first and put it closer to the front but not right at the beginning. Then put 1/2 right in the middle. Finally put 7/8 close to the end.
