Use this formula: A = P(1 + r/n)^nt, where A is the amount after interest (what you are solving for), P is the amount you invested originally, r is the rate at which it was invested in decimal form, n is the number of times the compounding occurs each year, t is the time in years it is invested. It would look like this: A = 500(1 + [.06/12])^12*5. Do inside the parenthesis first to get 1 + .005 = 1.005. Now raise that to the 60th power (12 times 5 is 60) to get 1.34558. Now multiply that by the 500 out front to get a total amount of $674.43

Hi there.

Since she reads 15 pages in 2 hours, all we have to do to find out how much she reads in 1 hour is divide.

15/2 = 7.5

7.5 pages/hour

Same applies to the pay

40/2 = 20

$20/hour

Karyn proofreading rate is 7.5 pages per hour. Karyn receives on average $20 per hour.

The distance between my house and Memphis is 150 km. If I drive in my car, it takes me 72 min to make the first 100 km of the dr

Cloud [144]

Set up a ratio:

You drove 72 minutes and 100 km = 72/100

You want the number of minutes (x) to drive 150 km = x/150

Set the ratios to equal each other and solve for x:

72/100 = x/150

Cross multiply:

(72 * 150) = 100 * x)
