Answer:
We can do it with envelopes with amounts $1,$2,$4,$8,$16,$32,$64,$128,$256 and $489
Step-by-step explanation:
- Observe that, in binary system, 1023=1111111111. That is, with 10 digits we can express up to number 1023.
This give us the idea to put in each envelope an amount of money equal to the positional value of each digit in the representation of 1023. That is, we will put the bills in envelopes with amounts of money equal to $1,$2,$4,$8,$16,$32,$64,$128,$256 and $512.
However, a little modification must be done, since we do not have $1023, only $1,000. To solve this, the last envelope should have $489 instead of 512.
Observe that:
- 1+2+4+8+16+32+64+128+256+489=1000
- Since each one of the first 9 envelopes represents a position in a binary system, we can represent every natural number from zero up to 511.
- If we want to give an amount "x" which is greater than $511, we can use our $489 envelope. Then we would just need to combine the other 9 to obtain x-489 dollars. Since
, by 2) we know that this would be possible.
Answer:
Brionny invested £8400.
Step-by-step explanation:
Simple Interest
This is a simple interest problem.
The simple interest formula is given by:

In which E is the amount of interest earned, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly, as a decimal) and t is the time.
After t years, the total amount of money is:

In this question:
We divide in two intervals, the first year and the second year. We have to know that the amount after the end of the first year is the principal at the start of the second year.
First year:
Amount of 2% interest, during 1 year.
So the interest earned is:

The total amount at the end of the first year is:

Second year:
We have that:

The interest earned is of:

The total amount is:

After two years, the investment is worth £8653.68 How much did Briony invest?
So



Brionny invested £8400.
