Answer:

$20,960

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for amount after simple interest  A = P(1 + rt)

"A" is the final amount

"P" is principal, or starting amount

"r" is the interest rate as a decimal

"t" is the time in years

We finding "A".

P = 8000

r = 9%/100 = 0.09

t = 18

<u>Substitute</u> the values into the formula, then <u>solve</u> to get the final answer.

A = P(1 + rt)                  

A = 8,000(1 + (0.09)(18))

Remember to follow <u>BEDMAS</u> order when solving. Solve brackets first.

A = 8,000(1 + (0.09)(18))          Multiply in brackets.

A = 8,000(1 + 1.62)             Add in brackets.

A = 8,000(2.62)                Multiply

A = 20,960                 Answer

Therefore Melissa's college fund account will have a total amount of $20,960.

maria [59]

Answer:

65 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to work backwards.

We end with 63 people, and at the stop we lost 19 people and gained 17.

x - 19 + 17 = 63\\; if x = # people at the beginning

x - 19 + 17 = 63\\x - 2 = 63\\x = 65

There were 65 people on the train to begin with.

Max, a carpet installer, needs to calculate the amount of carpet needed to cover a floor that’s 3 1⁄2 yards wide and 4 3⁄4 yards
AlekseyPX

Answer:

13 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Just multiply 3.5 and 4.75

AKA

3 1/2 and 4 3/4

Change 1/2 into 2/4 so the denominators are the same

Multiply the numerators 2 and 3, you now have 6/4

3 × 4 = 12

6/4 is improper so, you need to simplify

now you have 1 1/2

Now 12 + 1 1/2 = 13 1/12

Serhud [2]

Answer:

  16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "a" represent the measure of the angle. Then ...

  5a -30 = 2a +18

  3a = 48 . . . . . . . add 30-2a

  a = 16 . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

An angel is beyond measure, but this angle has measure 16.
