00, and it is projected to rise to 275 in 2020. Model N as a piecewise linear function of the time t in years since 1950, and use your model to project the number of retires per thousand people aged 20-64 in 2003. (Round you answer to the nearest integer.)
a. 163 people per thousand
b. 279 people per thousand
c. 302 people per thousand
d. 209 people per thousand

Answer: 233 people per thousand

Step-by-step explanation:

Using extrapolation method,

if 150/k in 1950,

  200/k in 1990,

  275/k in 2020,

2003 lies in between 1990 and 2020. So, you extrapolate the values of 200/k and 275/k for the years respectively.

Therefore,  

(2003 - 1990)/(2020 - 2003) = (x - 200)/(275 - x)

Where x is the number of retirees per thousand for 2003

Making x the subject of relation in the above equation.

Cross multiply the equation above;

(2003 - 1990)(275-x) = (2020 - 2003)(x - 200)

13(275 - x) = 17(x-200)

3575 - 13x = 17x - 3400

Collect the like terms

3575+3400 = 17x + 13x

30x = 6975

x = 6975/30

x = 232.5

x = 233 people per thousand to the nearest integer

Tori took out A $350,000 loan in order to purchase a house. She has to pay an interest of 5.2% over 35 years. how much interest
Dmitrij [34]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!


Answer:

Interest paid = $ 1,713,568.73

Monthly p[payment = $4913.25


Discussion:

From the "compound interest formula:

A = final amount

P = Initial amount (Principal)

r = yearly interest rate

n = number of years of accumulation.


In our case,

A = 350000( 1 + .052)^35 =

      350000 (5.90)  =                  (approx)

      $2,063,568.73

Interest =  $2,063,568.73 - 350000 =  $ 1,713,568.73


There are 35 *12 = 420 months in 35 years. So the monthly payment would be   ($2,063,568.73 / 420)  = $4913.25



Thank you,

MrB
