Perimeter is the distance around an object / shape. Area is the amount of space within a 2 dimensional surface. For example the perimeter of a square would be the lengths of each side added together while the area would be how much space inside of it that it occupies. Area is measured in units squared, while perimeter is left in just units. In other words if the unit ( measurements ) are conducted in cm, then the area would be put in cm^2. The perimeter would just remain in cm.

Margaret deposits $1,000 in a savings account that pays 1.4% interest compounded
ozzi

Answer:

The balance after 1 year is;

$1,014.05

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this, we use the compound interest formula

That will be ;

A =P (1 + r/n)^nt

A is the amount generated which we want to calculate

r is the rate = 1.4% = 0.014

P is the amount deposited = $1,000

n is the number of times it is compounded annually which is 2 (semi-annually means 2 times in a year)

this the number of years which is 1

we have this as:

A = 1,000( 1 + 0.014/2)^(2*1)

A = 1,000(1 + 0.007)^2

A = 1,000(1.007)^2

A = $1,014.05

A parent increases a child’s monthly allowance by 20% each year. If the allowance is $8 per month now, in about how many years w
Mazyrski [523]

6 years

A parent increases a child’s monthly allowance by 20% each year. If the allowance is $8 per month now. This is an exponential function, An exponential function is given by:

Let x be the number of years and y be the allowance. The initial allowance is $8, this means at x = 0, y = 8

Since it increases by 20% each year, i.e 100% + 20% = 1 + 0.2 = 1.2. This means that b = 1.2
Therefore:

To find the number of years will it take to reach $20 per month, we substitute y = 20 and find x

x = 6 years to the nearest year
