Answer: 9

Step-by-step explanation:

An elf ate 15 of your muffins and that was 5/8 of all of them. To get the number of muffins left goes thus:

We can first calculate the total number of muffins the person had. Let the total number of muffins be y. That means the elf ate 5/8 of y.

5/8 of y = 15

5/8 × y = 15

0.625 × y = 15

0.625y = 15

Divide both side by 0.625

0.625y/0.625 = 15/0.625

y = 24

The total amount of muffins is 24. Since the elf has eaten 15, the amount left will be: 24-15 = 9

How many persons are in the line? Ashley is in the line to buy a ticket. There are twice as many people in front of Ashley as th
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

I am pretty sure there are 10 people in line.

Since Ashley is the seventh person in line, we can deduce that <u><em>there are 6 people in front of her</em></u>.

Since the amount of people in front of her is "twice as many people as there are behind her," we can divide the value of the people in front of her in half to get the value of people behind her.

6/2 is 3, so <em>there are </em><u><em>3 people behind Ashley</em></u><em>. </em>

Now, lets add the amount of people in front of Ashley to the amount of people behind her. 3 + 6 = 9, and since Ashley is also in the line, we should add 1 to the sum.

9 + 1 = 10, so <u><em>there are 10 people in the line</em></u>.

You saved $20,000.00 and want to diversify your monies. You invest 45% in a Treasury bond for 3 years at 4.35% APR compounded an
Maru [420]

Compound Interest

A total of $20,000 is invested in different assets.

45% is invested in a Treasury bond for 3 years at 4.35 APR compounded annually.

For this investment, the principal is P = 0.45*$20,000 = $9,000.

The compounding period is yearly, thus the interest rate is:

i = 4.35 / 100 = 0.0435

The duration (in periods) is n = 3

Calculate the final value with the formula:

M=P_{}(1+i)^n

Substituting:

\begin{gathered} M=\$9,000_{}(1+0.0435)^3 \\ M=\$9,000\cdot1.136259062875 \\ M=\$10,226.33 \end{gathered}

The second investment is a CD at 3.75% APR for 3 years compounded annually. The parameters for the calculations are as follows:

P = 15% of $20,000 = $3,000

i = 3.75 / 100 = 0.0375

n = 3

Calculating:

\begin{gathered} M=\$3,000_{}(1+0.0375)^3 \\ M=\$3,000\cdot1.116771484375 \\ M=\$3,350.31 \end{gathered}

The third investment is in a stock plan. The initial value of the investment is

P = 20% of $20,000 = $4,000

By the end of the first year, the stock plan increased by 8%, thus its value is:

M1 = $4000 * 1.2 = $4,800

By the end of the second year, the stock plan decreased by 4$, thus the value is:

M2 = $4,800 * 0.96 = $4,608

Finally, the stock plan increases by 6%, resulting in a final balance of:

M3 = $4,608 * 1.06 = $4,884.48

Finally, the last investment is in a savings account at 2.90% APR compounded annually for 3 years (not mentioned, but assumed).

P = $20,000 - $9,000- $3,000 - $4,000 = $4,000

i = 2.90 / 100 = 0.029

n = 3

Calculating:

\begin{gathered} M=\$4,000_{}(1+0.029)^3 \\ M=\$4,000\cdot1.089547389 \\ M=\$4,358.19 \end{gathered}

To summarize, the final balances for each type of investment at the end of the third year are:

Investment 1; $10,226.33

Investment 2: $3,350.31

Investment 3: $4,884.48

Investment 4: $4,358.19

Total balance: $22,819.32
