Answer:

Least number of pennies is 840


Step-by-step explanation:

To get the least number of pennies, we need to figure out the LCM of 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, & 8.


We do prime factorization of each number and take each unique digit the most number of times it occurs in any one of them.


3 is 3

4 is 2*2

5 is 5

6 is 3*2

7 is 7

8 is 2*2*2


There are 2s, 3s, 5s, and 7s. Two occurs three times (highest) in 8, so we take 2 three times, 3,4,5,&7 all occur highest 1 time. So we take them one.


So LCM = 2*2*2*3*5*7 = 840

<span>Christa went shopping for back to school clothes.
She paid a total of 176 dollars before the tax was added on.
Now, how much will she be paying if the sales tax is 6% what was the total amount she paid.
Solutions:
=> 176 dollars * 6% to get the amount
=> 6% / 100% = 0.06
=> 176 dollars * .06 = 10.56
Now, let’s add to get the answer
=> 176 dollars + 10.56 dollars = 186.56 dollars</span>

qwelly [4]

Use the compound interest formula.

Let A = the ending amount

Let P = the principal

Let r = the interest rate

Let n = the amount compounded a year

Let t = time

A = P(1 + r/n) ^(n/t)

Substitute your numbers in

A = $7,000(1 + 0.06/4)^(4/7)

Solve for A

A = $7,059.81
