<span>Compound  interest  formula</span>

A=P(1+ \frac{r}{n} )^{nt}

 

Where

<span>
A= Future value
P = the Principal (the initial amount of money) 
r = annual interest rate</span>

t = time

<span>n= number of times compounded in one t






Remark
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

r is generally a percentage like 3%, 7% etc and are applied in the formula as 0.03, 0.07..., 

the interest is compounded generally annually (n=1), quarterly (n=4), monthly (n=12), etc...

t is in years,


In our problem:

</span>

A= 30 000

P =20 000

r = 15%=0.15

time = t = ?

n= 4

applying the formula:

A=P(1+ \frac{r}{n} )^{nt}\\\\30,000=20,000(1+ \frac{0.15}{4} )^{4t}\\\\ \displaystyle{\frac{30,000}{20,000} =(1.0375)^{4t}

\displaystyle{ 1.5={(1.0375^4)}^t\\\\

1.5=1.159^t\\\\ \displaystyle { t=log_{1.159}1.5=2.75

75% of 12 months is 3/4 of 12 months, which is 9 months

Answer: 2 years, 9 months

A washer and dryer cost 1003 combined the washer cost 53 more than dryer what’s the cost of dryer
NeX [460]

Answer:

475

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the dryer price is x

Then, the price for the washer is 53 more than the dryer, it would be: x+53

Total price of washer and dryer = 1003

We get the equation:

x+(x+53) = 1003

2x + 53 = 1003

2x + 53 - 53 = 1003 - 53

2x = 950

x = 475

The dryer price is 475

Extra: you can find the cost of the washer by using x+53 = 475+53 = 528

Tim has $20 to buy snacks for 12 people in an office. Each person will get one snack. Tim is buying bags of pretzels that cost $
Greeley [361]

Answer:

  8 bags of pretzels

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of bags of pretzels Tim buys. We assume he spends exactly $20 on exactly 12 bags of snack food. Then his purchase is ...

  1.50x + 2.00(12-x) = 20.00

  -0.50x +24.00 = 20.00 . . . eliminate parentheses, collect terms

  -0.50x = -4.00 . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 24

  x = 8 . . . . . . . . . . divide by -0.50

Tim will buy 8 bags of pretzels.
