Answer:
$1006.20
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an example of compound interest.
To work this out you would first have to convert the percentage into a decimal, you can do this by dividing 3 by 100, which gives you 0.03. You are dividing by 100 as percentages are out of 100. Then you would add 1 to 0.03, which gives you 1.03. This is because you are finding percentage increases. Then you would multiply 894 by 1.03 to the power of 4, which gives you 1006.20. This is because you are finding 3 percent and adding it on and then finding 3 percent of that, this is why we put it to the power of how much time.
1) Divide 3 by 100.

2) Add 1 to 0.03.

3) Multiply 894 by 1.03 to the power of 4.

Since this is a compound interest problem, you have to take note that the amount Catherine will get per year is not the same. It will increase per year since it is compounded. So first, we get the amount after one year. This will be 7000 x 0.04 which is 280 plus 7280. In the second year, she will get 7571 (7280 x 0.04 + 7280). In the third year, she will get 7874 (7571 x 0.04 + 7571). In the fourth year, she will get 8189 (7874 x 0.04 + 7874). And finally in the fifth year, she will get 8517 (8189 x 0.04 +8189). So after five years, she has 8517
Total weight=number of pennies times weight of 1 penny
total weight/weight of 1 penny=number of pennies
636.3/3.03=210
210 pennies
