Jessie needs 27 supporters in order to reach his goal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Amount to be collected by Jessie = $150

Jessie's contribution = $15

Amount to be asked from each person = $5

Let,

x be the number of people who contribute.

Jessie's contribution + 5*Number of people who contribute = Total amount

15+5x=150

Subtracting 15 from both sides

$15-15+5x=150-15\\5x=135$

Dividing both sides by 5

$\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{135}{5}\\x=27$

Jessie needs 27 supporters in order to reach his goal.

gogolik [260]

Answer:

They need to deposit $31,172.49

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound interest formula is given by:

$A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

Where A is the amount of money, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year and t is the time the money is invested or borrowed for, in years.

In this problem

We want to find P for which $A = 100000$ when $r = 0.09, n = 12, t = 13$
