Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
$5,956.2
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to find the amount after 5years using the formula
A =P(1+r)^n
A = 9000(1+0.06)^5
A = 9000(1.06)^5
A = 9000(1.3382)
A = 12,043.8
Interest after 5 years = 12,043.8 - 9000
Interest after 5 years = 3,043.8
Since it will be worth 6% less each year, the amount after 5years will be 9000 - 3,043.8 = $5,956.2
The error is that there is not a decimal point in front of the 2
Correct: 5.8 - .2 = 5.6
Answer:
The smaller number is 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the smaller number be x
the other number is (17 -x) (we know they add up to 17)
2/3 of the bigger number is written as 2/3 (17 - x)
The smaller number is 3 less than that. (so subtract 3 to get x)
x= 2/3 (17 -x) - 3 <-- We have an equation, solve for x
Check 2/3 x 12 - 3 = 8 - 3 = 5
