Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the least number of points per day of golf.

This means that his least score for 2 days would be 2x

Jesse played two days of golf. On the second day he got a score of 2 below par or -2. This means that his score on the second day would be

x - 2

His total score for the two days was 8 below par or -8. This means that the total score would be

2x - 8

The score on the first day would be the total score - the score on the second day. It becomes

2x - 8 - (x - 2) = 2x - 8 - x + 2

= 2x - x + 2 - 8

= x - 6

His score on the first day was 6 below par or - 6

You deposit $400 each month into an account earning 5% interest compounded monthly. a. How much will you have in the account in
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

amount in 30 years is $1787.0977

interest is $1387.0977

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

principal amount = $400

rate = 5 % = 0.05

time period = 30 years

to find out

amount in 30 years and total interest

Solution

we know its interest compounded monthly so n = 12

and interest compounded monthly formula is

amount = principal (1+r/n)^{nt}   ............1

put the value principal , n , rate and time in equation 1

we get amount

amount = 400 (1+0.05/12)^{360}

amount = 1787.0977

amount in 30 years is $1787.0977

and interest = amount - principal  ............2

put the value amount and principal in equation 2

we get  interest = $1787.0977 - $400

interest =$1387.0977
