Answer:

$972

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the amount that Vince should pay back, we can use the formula of 

A = P + PRT 

where A is amount (unknown), P is principal ($900), R is rate of interest (1.5%).

Which in this case, Vince did follow the correct formula, but what he did wrong, it that he incorrectly changed the rate to a decimal. Instead, 1.5% should be 0.015 in decimal form.

So, the correct formula should be

A = 900 + 900(0.015x2)

A = 900 + 27

A = 927

So, the correct amount Vince should pay is $927.

The number of wolves in a wildlife preserve is estimated to have increased continually by 3% per year. If the population is now
34kurt
For the answer to the question above, <span>Well, first let us put up a functional equation. </span>
<span>Since this is an exponential function, it'll be: f(t)=54,000*1.03^t </span>
<span>But we want to know how many wolves there were 10 years ago. </span>
<span>For that, we simply "turn time around", as in: f(t)=54,00*1.03^-t </span>
<span>This displays a decreasing number of wolves, as you turn back time. </span>

<span>Now we simply calculate 54,000*1.03^-10 </span>
<span>which is approximately 40,200?</span>
