Answer:

46 and 68

Step-by-step explanation:

so let the first number=x

the second number= 2x-24 since 24 less than twice the first number

then

2x-24+x=114

simplify

3x=114+24

3x=138

x=46

2x-24= 68

For area A, the width will be √(3A/4), so for the three rugs, the widths are 6 ft, 9 ft, 12 ft. Corresponding lengths are 4/3 times that, so are 8 ft, 12 ft, 16 ft.

The rug dimensions are
.. 6 ft x 8 ft
.. 9 ft x 12 ft
.. 12 ft x 16 ft

Pick the one(s) that are on your list.

David’s bank offers a 36-month Certificate of Deposit (CD) with an APR of 2.25%. Use the compound interest formula to answer the

tamaranim1 [39]

Using compound interest, it is found that:

a) A(8) = 2389.66

b) t = 31.15

c) P = 1870.85

Compound interest:

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

A(t) is the amount of money after t years.
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.
t is the time in years for which the money is invested or borrowed.

In this problem:

The APR is of 2.25%, hence $r = 0.0225$ .

No information about the number of compounding per year, hence $n = 1$ .

Item a:

$P = 2000$ , hence:

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

$A(8) = 2000\left(1 + \frac{0.0225}{1}\right)^{8}$

$A(8) = 2389.66$

Item b:

$A(t) = 4000$ , hence:

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

$4000 = 2000\left(1 + \frac{0.0225}{1}\right)^{t}$

$(1.0225)^t = 2$

$\log{(1.0225)^t} = \log{2}$

$t\log{1.0225} = \log{2}$

$t = \frac{\log{2}}{\log{1.0225}}$

$t = 31.15$

Item c:

$A(3) = 2000$ , hence:

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

$2000 = P\left(1 + \frac{0.0225}{1}\right)^{3}$

$P = \frac{2000}{(1.0225)^3}$

$P = 1870.85$
