Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L = Lucy, C = Carol and A = Arita , x = Total amount of marbles

Lucy shares 1/3 with Carol and keeps 1/4 for herself.

This means that Carol has 1/3 of the total amount of marbles, Lucy has 1/4 of the total amount of marbles.

C = 1/3x

L = 1/4x

We are also told that Carol has 7 more marbles than Lucy

C = L + 7

Since C = 1/3x  and L = 1/4x you can sub these into the above equation and you get:

1/3x = 1/4x + 7

Subtract 1/4x from both sides

1/3x - 1/4x = 7

1/12x = 7

Multiply both sides by 12 to find x.

x = 7 times 12 = 84 (Total amount of marbles = 84)

Amrita gets the remaining number of marbles.

A = x - C - L

A = 84 - 1/3 (84) - 1/4 (84)

A = 35

A bank account earns 2.5% interest per year. If the account starts with $500, approximately how many years will it take for the
belka [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have an amount in the future of 750, we are going to use Future value formula; FV = PV (1+r)^t

where PV= Initial amount deposited

r= interest rate or discount rate

t = total duration of the investment

FV= 750

PV=500

r = 2.5% or 0.025 as a decimal

t = ?

Next, plug in the numbers into the formula;

750 = 500* (1+0.025)^t

divide both sides by 500;

750/500 = 1.025^t

Introduce <em>ln</em> on both sides

ln 1.5 = ln 1.025^{t}

ln 1.5 = t ln 1.025

0.4054651 = 0.0246926 t

Divide both sides by 0.0246926 to solve for t;

0.4054651/0.0246926 = t

t = 16.42

Therefore it will take 16.42 years
