Answer 1

Answer:

$4125.00

14.94 years

$379.50

Step-by-step explanation:

1. A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)

4837.65 = P(1 + 0.032/4)^(4×5)

4837.65 = P(1.008)^(20)

P = 4125.00

2. A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)

10250 = 5125(1 + 0.0475/1)^(1×t)

10250 = 5125(1.0475)^t

2 = 1.0475^t

ln 2 = t ln 1.0475

t = 14.94

3. Beth pays the first $100, bringing the cost to $1118.  She then pays 25% of this, which is $279.50.  So she pays a total of $379.50.
