How long will it take to have R30 000 for a trip to Europe if I invest R20 000 now at 15% per year,

1 answer:

5 0

The formula is
A=p (1+r/k)^kt
A future value 30000
p present value 20000
R interest rate 0.15
K compounded quarterly 4
T time?
30000=20000 (1+0.15/4)^4t
Solve for t
Divide both sides by 20000
30000/20000=(1+0.15/4)^4t
Take the log of both sides
Log (30000/20000)=4t×log (1+0.15/4)
Divide both sides by log (1+0.15/4)
4t=Log (30000/20000)÷log (1+0.15/4)
Divide both sides by 4
T=(log(30,000÷20,000)÷log(1+0.15÷4))÷4
T=2.7 years round your answer to get 3 years

Hope it helps!

On which graph does the red point have a clear meaning?

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

The graph where the red point has a meaning is the graph C or third graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see the first and second graphs are irrelevant and have no relation between the x axis and y axis.

In graph A, the bird feeder graph is shown where the quart is a unit for liquids and pounds is a unit for solids. Thus, the red point cannot be defined.

Similarly, in graph B, height and team numbers are not related to each other in any way, so not clear meaning can be withdrawn here,

In graph C, the relation between cost of pictures and number of pictures are shown. We can very well understand here, that as the number of pictures increases, the cost increases.

So, the graph where the red point has a meaning is the graph C or third graph.
