Compounded quarterly means that one quarter of the interest is added to the account each quarter
one quarter of 6% is 1.5%
x = 7201 (1 + .06/4)^2 ___ .06/4 is the interest per compounding , and 2 is the number of compoundings
Answer:
9. x=13.5
10. x=11.5
Step-by-step explanation:
If he made 25 percent profit, the selling price (1200 naira) is 125 percent.
If 125% is equal to 1200 naira
100 percent (the original) will be 100 × 1200 divided by 125
Which is 120000 ÷ 125
Therefore, the cost price is 960 naira
Answer: About 45.
Step-by-step explanation: There's always a pattern in these kinds of questions, you can see for 9th to 13th August, the number has always been between 20 to 40. And since on 13th August the graph is on a rise again, it would be around 45. 90 is just not realistic considering there's only an increase of around 5-10 tickets every day.
Answer:
- width: 18 in
- length: 27 in
Step-by-step explanation:
The relations between length (L) and width (W) are ...
W +9 = L
LW = 486
Substituting gives ...
(W+9)W = 486
W^2 +9W -486 = 0 . . . put in standard form
(W +27)(W -18) = 0 . . . . factor
W = 18 . . . . the positive solution
The width of the rectangle is 18 inches; the length is 27 inches.

<em>Comment on factoring</em>
There are a number of ways to solve quadratics. Apart from using a graphing calculator, one of the easiest is factoring. Here, we're looking for factors of -486 that have a sum of 9.
486 = 2 × 3^5, so we might guess that the factors of interest are -2·3² = -18 and 3·3² = 27. These turn out to be correct: -18 +27 = 9; (-18)(27) = -486.
