If a person starts investing $100 per month starting at age 21, and that money earns a 5% return every year, how much will this

person have when turning 70 years old? For ease of calculation, assume starting balance of $0 and annual contributions of $1,200 (12*$100).

The formula for calculating compound interest with yearly contributions is:

Balance = X*(1 + Y)^n + Z((1 + Y)^(n + 1) - (1 + Y)/Y)

where the balance is the money earned after n years invested

Y is the interest rate as a fraction

Z is the yearly contribution

X is the starting investment

Therefore the calculation for this example is:

Balance = 1200*(1 + 0.05)^48 + 1200((1.05)^49 - (1.05)/05)

= $249,393.5

The <u>correct answer</u> is:

$263,123.19.

Explanation:

The formula for compound interest with contributions is:
T=P(1+r)^n+c[((1+r)^{n+1}-(1+r))/r],

where P is the starting principal, r is the interest rate, c is the yearly contribution, and n is the number of years.

For this problem, he starts out depositing $1200; this is P.

He contributes $1200 per year; this is c.

The interest rate is 5%; 5%=5/100=0.05.  This is r.

He starts at age 21 and we want to know how much he will have at 70:
70-21=49.  This is n.

This gives us:
T=1200(1+0.05)^{49}+1200[((1+0.05)^{49+1}-(1+0.05))\div0.05]&#10;\\&#10;\\=1200(1.05)^{49}+1200[((1.05)^{50}-(1.05))\div 0.05]=263123.19

In order from greatest to least, the ribbons go

7/8 (Green)
3/4 (Pink)
1/3 (Blue)

This because 7 out of 8 is a larger number than 3 out of 4, and 3 out of 4 is greater than 1 out of 3.

Mick departs Sydney on Tuesday at 6:00 am and arrives in Christchurch on Tuesday at 12:45 pm. If Christchurch time is 2 hours ah
Andrej [43]

Answer:

4 hours and 45 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Christchurch is 2 hours ahead of Sydney, you subtract 2 from 12:45 and get 10:45 so then, you determine the difference between 10:45 and 6:00 AM and it results in 4.75 hours or 4 hours and 45 minutes

Delmar is constructing an equilateral triangle. He uses his straightedge to draw a segment and labels the endpoints W and X. Wit
MakcuM [25]
<span>Use a straightedge to join points W and P and then points P and X. â–łWPX is equilateral. Let's see now, Delmar has a line segment WX and has drawn 2 circles whose radius is the length of WX, centered upon W and centered upon X. Sounds to me that all he needs to do is select one of the intersections of those 2 circles and use that at the 3rd point of the equilateral triangle and draw a line from that point to W and another line from that point to X. Doesn't matter which of the two intersections he chooses, just needs to pick one. Looking at the available options, only the 1st one which is "Use a straightedge to join points W and P and then points P and X. â–łWPX is equilateral." matches my description, so that is the correct choice. The other choices tend to do rather bizarre things like create a perpendicular bisector of WX and for some unknown reason, claim that bisector is somehow a side of a desired equilateral triangle.</span>
