M=Mavis
B=Brother Age
M=B+5

Five years ago...
M-5
B-5
Since Mavis is twice her brother age you have to multiple by 2
(M-5) = 2(B-5)

Substitute M=B+5
(B+5-5) =2B-10

B=2B-10

-B=10
10+5=15

Mavis is 15
Brother is 10

Lars deposited $50 into a savings account for which interest is compounded quarterly. According to the rule of 72, what interest
Ivanshal [37]

Answer: C 2.5%


Step-by-step explanation:

The "Rule of 72" is a easy way to calculate how much time an investment will take to double with a given fixed annual rate of interest.

Just we have to divide 72 by the annual rate of return(r), we can get a rough estimate of how many years it will take to double the initial investment .

Now, in given problem: Let 'r' be the rate of interest

Time to double the amount=29 years

Thus by rule 72 ,

\frac{72}{r}=29\\\Rightarrow\ r=\frac{72}{29}=2.4827\%\approx2.5\%

Therefore, C is the right option.
