Answer:

b. 3.775

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is worded incorrectly since the sum of the first 100 counting numbers is actually greater than the sum of the first 50 counting numbers.

The sum of any set of consecutive numbers of size 'n' is given by:

S = \frac{(A_1+A_n)*n}{2}

Where A1 is the first number on the set and An is the last number.

The sum of the first 100 counting numbers (1 through 100) is:

S_{100}= \frac{(1+100)*100}{2}=5,050

The sum of the first 50 counting numbers (1 through 50) is:

S_{50}= \frac{(1+50)*50}{2}=1,275

The difference between those two values is:

S_{100} -S_{50} =5,050-1,275=3,775

Therefore, the sum of the first 100 counting numbers is 3,775 greater than the sum of the first 50 counting numbers.

PLEASE HELP I NEED THIS DONE Chan deposited money into his retirement account that is compounded annually at an interest rate of
rjkz [21]

Answer:

No, equivalent quarterly rate will be approx 1.75%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Chan deposited money into his retirement account that is compounded annually at an interest rate of 7%.

We know that there are 4 quarters in 1 year.

So to find that equivalent quarterly we will divide given yearly rate by number of quarters.

That means divide 7% by 4.

which gives 1.75%.

But that is different than Chan's though of 2% quarterly interest.

Hence Chan is wrong.
