This one uses the formula A(t)=P(1+r)^t, where A(t) is the amount in the end, P is the initial investment, r is the rate, and t is the time in years. Because we are compounding annually, the formula is simpler than it would be if we had to consider half of a year or a quarter of a year. If we don't know how much money we started with, how can we know what its double is you might ask. Let's make up the numbers!! We will start with 1000, so doubling it is 2000. So the formula would look like this: 2000=1000(1.05)^t. Divide thee 2000 by the 1000 to get 2 = 1.05^t. Now take the common log of both sides to get
log 2 = log 1.05^t. One of the properties of logs tells us that we can bring the t down in front of the log so it looks like this now: log 2 = t log 1.05.  Divide both sides by log 1.05 to get the t alone: log 2/log 1.05 = t.  Do the math on your calculator to get that t = 14.2 years.

If you earn $1200 per month and you expect your earnings to increase by 10% per year, what monthly salary would you be making in
Sergio [31]
So u turn the percent into a decimal.
0.10 
Now multiply 1200 * 0.10
1200*0.10= 120 ( 120 is the amount that is gonna increase)
So if it says 5 years, than your gonna multiply 120 * 5 
120*5 =600
So your gonna add 600 to 1200.
So in five years your gonna be making 1,800.
An easier way would be to use prt
Principle * rate * time
1200 * 0.10* 5
= 600
So now you just add 600 to 1200
= 1800

If you drive 300 miles and do 70 per hour how much minutes does it take​
dangina [55]

Answer: well I'm sorry I can't help that much but 300÷70(per hour)=4.28571428571 (Yes I did the math in my head) but it would be an estimate of 4 or 5 minutes. If I helped that's the least I can do. Your welcome! Anytime!!
