Answer:

Shorty has $142 after 7 month.

Step-by-step explanation:

The concept of compounded interest involves an initial capital that is reinvested month by month, it means that the initial capital plus the interest earned during the first month is reinvested on the second month and so on. The equation that describes the relationship between the final capital with the initial capital, the percentage of compounded interest and the time is:

 Cf = Ci(1 + r)^n    

where Cf: final capital (the money tha Shorty needs,  $142)

Ci: initial capital (the money that Shorty has, $80)

r is the interest (9% = 0,09)

n: time (in months)

⇒142 = 80 (1 + 0,09)^n ⇒ 142/80 = (1,09)^n ⇒ 1.775 = (1,09)^n At this point you have to apply logarithms.

⇒ log (1.775) = n log (1.09) ⇒ n = log (1.775)/log (1.09) ⇒ n= 6.658

Shorty has $142 after 7 month.

Vince bought 6 boxes of worms to use as bait while fishing with his friends. If each person uses exactly 3/8 of a box of worms,
tia_tia [17]

We are given the following information:

<em />

<em>each person uses 3/8 a box</em>

<em>there are 6 boxes</em>

Because each box is \frac{8}{8}, and there are 6 boxes, we know that 1 person is \frac{3}{8*6}, or \frac{3}{48}.

In order to find how many people can use the 6 boxes, we can divide it by 3 (for each use):

48 / 3 = 16

Therefore, 16 people can share the worms.

<em>Hope this helps! :)</em>
