Answer:

$755.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine the compound amount first and then subtract the principal from it, to find the amount of interest.

The compound amount formula is A = P (1 + r/n)^(nt), where

P is the initial principal, r is the interest rate as a decimal fraction, n is the number of compounding periods per year, and t is the number of years. Here, P = $2179; t = 5 yrs; r = 0.06; and n = 4 (quarterly compounding).

We get:

A = $2179(1 + 0.06/4)^(4*5), or $2179(1.015)^20, or $2179(1.347) = $2937.80.

The compound amount is $2934.80. Subtracting the $2179 principal results in the interest earned: $755.80.

How do I solve for x?

Solving:
$\frac{3+4x}{2} + \frac{5-x}{3} = \frac{29}{6}$
Make the Least Common Multiple (2,3,6)
$2,3,6\:|2$
$1,3,3\:|3$
$1,1,1\:|\underline{2*3=6}$

<span>Replace denominators and resolve:
</span> $\frac{3+4x}{2} + \frac{5-x}{3} = \frac{29}{6}$
$\frac{3(3+4x)}{6} + \frac{2(5-x)}{6} = \frac{29}{6}$
Cancel the dominators
$\frac{3(3+4x)}{\diagup\!\!\!\!6} + \frac{2(5-x)}{\diagup\!\!\!\!6} = \frac{29}{\diagup\!\!\!\!6}$
$3(3+4x) + 2(5-x) = 29$
$9 + 12x + 10 - 2x = 29$
$12x - 2x = 29 - 9 - 10$
$10x = 20 - 10$
$10x = 10$
$x = \frac{10}{10}$
$\boxed{\boxed{x = 1}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$

Answer:

50 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the two coins are fair, each has a 1/2 chance of landing on heads. If both of them land on heads, that possibility would be 1/4 (1/2 * 1/2)

Because you are running the experiment 200 times, multiply 200 by 1/4:

200/4 = 50 times.

Hope this helps!
