After three years, your investment would be $575. The formula is A=P(1+(r/n)^(n*t) where A is the final amount, P is the initial balance, r is the interest rate, n is the amount of time the interest is compounded in a year, and t is the amount of time that has passed.
P=500
r= 5% is which converted into a decimal by dividing 5 by 100 which is then 0.05
n= 1 since it is compounded annually
t= 3
Hope this helped.
This would be 2/6 chances or percentage form about 33%
Your answer should have been 3850 in^2
1^2/5^2 = 1/25
1/25 = 154/x
1x= 154 (25)
1x/1= 3850/1
x= 3850
So.. in this case, the starting amount is the 500mg sample... and the rate of decay, negative rate, is 1%, and at the time, the elapsed days is 0, to t = 0, P = 400
