A = $ 861.69
Equation:
A = P(1 + rt)
Calculation:
First, converting R percent to r a decimal
r = R/100 = 5.5%/100 = 0.055 per year,
putting time into years for simplicity,
1 quarters ÷ 4 quarters/year = 0.25 years,
then, solving our equation
A = 850(1 + (0.055 × 0.25)) = 861.6875
A = $ 861.69
The total amount accrued, principal plus interest,
from simple interest on a principal of $ 850.00
at a rate of 5.5% per year
for 0.25 years (1 quarters) is $ 861.69.
It took about 0.66 hour, which is basically 40 minutes.
Statement : Val spent $ 34 for the 2 items
contradiction : Neither of the 2 items that Val bought cost more then $ 15
think about it....if neither of them cost more then 15....lets say they cost 15 each...then there is no way he spent $ 34.....he would spend at most $ 30
