<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

Alice Correa bought three yards of cloth to make a dress. The cloth was on sale for $1.93 per yard. How much did Alice pay for t
vitfil [10]
<span>The correct answer for this question is that Alice Correa will have spent $6.07 on the cloth overall. This can be worked out through first considering what 5% of the original price will be, so $5.79 / 100 = 0.0579 x 5 = $0.28, so $5.79 + $0.28 = $6.07</span>

the local state university has a ratio of 5 professors to every 86 students there are 9460 students at State University what is
Phoenix [80]
As a ratio, 5:86 represents students to teachers

We can set up the equation as 5/86=x/9460

Multiply 9460 to both sides

5x9460/86=x

47300/86=x

x=550

There are 550 professors

A guy wire runs from the top of a cell tower to a metal stake in the ground. Marques places a 11-foot tall pole to support the g
astra-53 [7]

The Pythagorean theorem computed shows that the length of the guy wire, to the nearest foot, is 207 ft.

<h3>How to solve the length?</h3>

Here, we have two similar right triangles, ΔABE and ΔCDE.

CD = 11 ft

DE = 2 ft

BD = 35 ft

First, find AB:

AB/11 = (35 + 2)/2

AB/11 = 37/2

Cross multiply

AB = (37 × 11)/2

AB = 203.5 ft

Then, apply Pythagorean Theorem to find AE:

AE = √(AB² + BE²)

AE = √(203.5² + 37²)

AE = 207 ft

Therefore, the length of the guy wire is 207 ft.
