Answer:
This is an exponential growth problem.
The growth rate is 4% (0.04).
The time is 10 years (10 years from 2005 to 2015)
A = P(1+i)t
A = amount spent in 2015
P = amount spent in 2005
i = interest rate expressed as a decimal
t = # years
A = 500(1.04)10
A = 500(1.480244)
A = 740.122 ==> 740 billion
Step-by-step explanation:
7f lenghtg is 29.2
1c, 5c, 25c and 1 dollar
With 4 coins of 1c : 4 cents
4 coins of 5c: 20 cents
4 coins of 25c: 1 dollar
4 coins of 1 dollar: 4 dollars
So, 4c + 20c + 1 dollar + 4 dollars = 5.24 dollars
True
