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 :)

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

Distributive Property

Equality Properties

  • Multiplication Property of Equality
  • Division Property of Equality
  • Addition Property of Equality
  • Subtraction Property of Equality

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Terms/Coefficients

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify</em>

1/2(8x - 4) = 2x

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. [Distributive Property] Distribute 1/2:                                                              4x - 2 = 2x
  2. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2x on both sides:                      2x - 2 = 0
  3. [Addition Property of Equality] Add 2 on both sides:                                    2x = 2
  4. [Division Property of Equality] Divide 2 on both sides:                                  x = 1
