So, to set up your equation is the hardest part. If you remember the basic format, you're set.

I(t) = P * (1+r%)^t

t= time and this will be our variable

Initial amount P = $2740

Rate = 4.3% which converts numerically into .043

I(t) = 7000

Before we get to find out how to find how many years it takes to get to $7000, set up the basic equation by plugging in what we know.


I(t) = $2740(1+4.3%)^t

I(t)=2740(1.043)^t

Now plug in for $7000 for I(t)

7000=2740(1.043)^t                 Divide both sides by 2740

7000/2740 = 2740/2740(1.043)^t

2.55474453=(1.043)^t

Now you can solve for t in two ways. You can either use the natural log or graph it on your graphing calculate and see when the two equations meet.

In your calculator you can set up:

ln(2.55474453)/ln(1.043) = t                 which is the method I prefer since it's much simpler

t=22.278528

but you can also graph it in your ti-84

with

y1=2.55474453

y2=(1.043)^x

and find where they intersect on the graph.

either way it'll be the same answer

4. Kay and Allen sell cell phones. Last month Kay sold 17 more cell phones than Allen. Together they both sold 117 cell phones.
forsale [732]

Answer:

Allen sold 50 cell phones while Kay sold 67 cell phones.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of cell phones sold by Allen be x. This will imply that the number of cell phones sold by Kay is x + 17.

Furthermore, we are informed that together they sold a total of 117 cell phones. Therefore, we use the following equation to determine the number of cell phones sold by each;

x + x + 17 = 117

2x + 17 = 117

2x = 100

x = 50

Therefore, Allen sold 50 cell phones while Kay sold 67 cell phones.

Answer:

you can put in any of the numbers that are already listed in the x values. You can put 5, 14, -1, and 23 because something can't be a function if x values repeat.
