Answer:

12.15

Step-by-step explanation:

3/20 = 15/100 = 0.15

Explanation:

Decimals are way of writing fractions which have denominators that are powers of 10

0.3 = 3/10

0.38 = 38/100

0.384 = 384/1000

etc

Find an equivalent fraction for 3/20

3/20× 5/5 = 15/ 100

This can now be written as

0.15

and the remaining whole twelve you are to add

so it would be 12.15

Answer:

12.15

Step-by-step explanation:

It is 12.15 because you have 12, right? 3 divided by 20, gives you 15.

Another way you can use to find the answer is taking 3/20 from 12 3/20, and then 3/20 equals 15/100. As a decimal it will be 12.15

Hope this helps!

As part of your retirement plan, you want to set up an annuity in which a regular payment of $35,000 is made at the end of each

Finger [1]

Answer:

Option d)$401,447.24

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that as part of your retirement plan, you want to set up an annuity in which a regular payment of $35,000 is made at the end of each year at rate of 6% compounded annually for 20 years

So first of all we need to find the future value of annuity using the formula as shown below :

$FV= p\frac{[(1+\frac{r}{n})^{(n)(t)}-1)]}{\frac{r}{n}}$

Here, FV = future value of annuity

p = $35000 (annual deposit)

r is rate = 6% = 0.06

n = number of compounding = 1 ( as we are compounding annually )

t = number of years = 20

So plugging in all the values in the formula , we get

$FV= 35000\frac{[(1+\frac{0.06}{1})^{(1)(20)}-1)]}{\frac{0.06}{1}}$

Simplifying further , we get

$FV= 35000\frac{[(1+0.06)^{20}-1)]}{0.06}$

Plugging in the given values in the calculator , we get

FV = $ 1287495.69

So far we have got the Total amount for annuity , from here we need to use the concept of compound interest and find the principal amount to be deposited to get the required total amount of $ 1287495.69

The formula for compound interest when compounded annually is given by:

$A=P(1+r)^t$

Here A = 1287495.69 (Total amount required)

P = ( principal amount to be deposited to meet the required total amount )

r = 6% = 0.06

t = 20

So plugging in all the known values in the formula , we get

$1287495.69= P(1+0.06)^{20}$

simplifying further, we get

$\frac{1287495.69}{(1.06)^{20}}= P$

so required amount to be deposited is given by :

P = $401,447.24

The ratio of the measure of the acute angle in a right triangle is 1/2 . Find the measures of the two angles

AleksandrR [38]

30° and 60°.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

We will solve the problem of the measures of angles in the triangle.

Recall this condition:

The acute angle ⇒ an angle of less than 90°.
The right angle ⇒ an angle of exactly 90°.
A right triangle ⇒ a triangle in which one angle is a right angle.
The interior angles ⇒ the angles inside a triangle.
All the interior angles in a triangle , i.e., $\boxed{ \ \angle A + \angle B + \angle C = 180^0 \ }$

<u>Given that:</u>

The ratio of the measure of the acute angle in a right triangle is ¹/₂.

<u>Question:</u>

Find the measures of the two angles.

<u>The Process:</u>

We call it the triangle ABC. An interior angle inside is a right angle, e.g., ∠A = 90°.

From the ratio of two other acute angles, i.e., 1: 2, we call it ∠B = x and ∠C = 2x.

Let's arrange the three angles in ABC triangle as follows:

$\boxed{ \ 90^0 + x + 2x = 180^0 \ }$

Both sides subtracted by 90°.

$\boxed{ \ x + 2x = 180^0 - 90^0 \ }$

$\boxed{ \ 3x = 90^0 \ }$

Both sides divided by 3.

We get $\boxed{ \ x = 30^0 \ }$

We substitute the value of x back into B and C.

$\boxed{\boxed{ \ \angle B = x\ } \rightarrow \boxed{ \ \angle B = 30^0 \ }} \\\boxed{\boxed{ \ \angle C = 2x\ } \rightarrow \boxed{ \ \angle C = 60^0 \ }}$
