Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there were five rummers in the team;

Each runner finished one after the other

Total. Points scored =. 55

Let the positions of each runner be :

1sr runner = p

2nd runner =.p + 1

3rd runner =.p + 2

4th runner =.p + 3

5th runner =.p + 4

(1st + 2nd + 3rd + 4th +. 5th) runner = 55

(p + p + 1 + p + 2 + p + 3 + p + 4) = 55

5p + 10 = 55

5p = 55 - 10

5p = 45

p = 9

Hence,

1st runner = 9th

2nd runner = 9 + 1 = 10th

3rd runner = 9 + 2 = 11th

4th runner = 9 + 3 = 12th

5th runner = 9+ 4 = 13th

76. Currently, your savings for each month is capped at $400. If you start investing all of this into a savings plan earning 1%
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

10 years and 10 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

The annually interest rate (ia) can be converted by monthly (im) by the equation:

(1 + im)¹² = 1 + ia

(1 + im)¹² = 1 +0.01

(1 + im)¹² = 1.001 (putting ln in both sides)

ln(1 + im)¹² = ln1.001

12*ln(1 + im) = 1.0x10⁻³

ln(1 + im) = 8.33x10⁻⁵(applying "e in both sides)

e^{ln(1 + im)} = e^{8.33x10^{-5}}

1 + im = 1.00083

im = 0.00083 = 0.083%

For a investimenting, the final amount (A) can be calculated by:

A = R*(\frac{(1+i)^n-1}{i} )

Where R is the amount invested per month, i is the interest, and n the number of months:

160000 = 400 *\frac{(1 +0.00083)^n - 1}{0.00083}

\frac{(1 +0.00083)^n - 1}{0.00083} = 400

1.00083ⁿ - 1 = 0.332

1.00083ⁿ = 1.332 (applying ln in both sides)

n*ln1.00083 = ln1.332

8.3x10⁻⁴n = 0.2867

n = 345.4 months

345.4 months *1 yea12 months = 10 years and 10 months.
