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!

Savannah needs to order some new supplies for the restaurant where she works. The

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

$s\geq 36$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1, how many knives to buy?

The restaurant already has 262 knives. We can subtract this number from their needed 694 knives to find how many they still need:

$694-262=432$ knives.

Step 2, how many sets of knives?

The restaurant needs to buy 432 knives. We know the knives come in sets of 12, so we can divide to find the # of packs she needs to buy, determined by variable s.

Notice how the restaurant needs to buy a minimum of 694 knives, hence we use a greater or equal than symbol:

$\fbox{\frac{432}{12} \geq s}\\$ $s\geq \frac{432}{12}$
