Your interest formula is given to you.

Interest in a year = principal (the amount invested) * rate (the interest rate) * period (the time you're measuring)

Interest = 55,000 * 2% * 1 year = 55,000 * 0.02 * 1 = $1,100

How much would you need to have made for your spending power to keep with inflation? Your interest rate would have needed to match the inflation rate, otherwise prices are going up faster than you're saving.

Required interest = 55,000 * 3.24% * 1 year = 55,000 * 0.0324 * 1 = $1,782

How much buying power did you lose? The difference between your required interest and your actual interest.
Buying power lost = 1,782 - 1,100 = $682. You lost this much in buying power.

Hope that helped :)

We will be using the formulas:
speed=distance/time
time=distance/speed
distance=speed×time
First let's find out Diane's rate of swimming. We can measure this by finding the slope (y/x) of a given coordinate on the graph. One point is (10,15), so you do 15/10=1.5m/s
Now for Rick's rate of swimming, just take a pair of values from the table. 12.5/10=1.25m/s
By the way m/s is metres per second for this
So at a constant speed of 1.5m/s, Diane swam 150m in 150/1.5= 100 seconds, or 1 minute 40 seconds
And at a constant speed of 1.25m/s, Rick swam 150m in 150/1.25= 120 seconds, or 2 minutes.
So the difference between their two times is 20 seconds
