Answer:

2.45c + 1.65c = 4.12 + 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

To write an equation to find the value for c, we need to declare what c is first.

c = price of fruit

2.45c + 1.65c = 4.12 + 0.75

Now we multiplied c to 2.45 and 1.65 and added them together, because whatever the value of c is will give us the equivalence of the sum of 4.12 + 0.75.

Now to check if the equation is right, let's solve for c.

2.45c + 1.65c = 4.12 + 0.75

4.1c = 4.87

Now to get the value of c, we divide both sides of the equation by 4.1.

\dfrac{4.1c}{4.1}=\dfrac{4.87}{4.1}

c = 1.19

Now let's substitute the value of c in the equation to see if we got it right.

2.45(1.19) + 1.65(1.19) = 4.12 + 0.75

2.92 + 1.96 = 4.87

4.87 = 4.87

Therefore concluding that the value of c is 1.19.

Mai invests $20,000 at age 20. She hopes the investment will be worth $500,000 when she turns 40. If the interest compounds cont
love history [14]

Answer:

\approx 17.5% per annum

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Money invested = $20,000 at the age of 20 years.

Money expected to be $500,000 at the age of 40.

Time = 40 - 20 = 20 years

<em>Interest is compounded annually.</em>

<u>To find:</u>

Rate of growth = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

First of all, let us have a look at the formula for compound interest.

A = P \times (1+\frac{R}{100})^T

Where A is the amount after T years compounding at a rate of R% per annum. P is the principal amount.

Here, We are given:

P = $20,000

A = $500,000

T = 20 years

R = ?

Putting all the values in the formula:

500000 = 20000 \times (1+\frac{R}{100})^{20}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{500000}{20000} =(1+\frac{R}{100})^{20}\\\Rightarrow 25 =(1+\frac{R}{100})^{20}\\\Rightarrow \sqrt[20]{25} =1+\frac{R}{100}\\\Rightarrow 1.175 = 1+0.01R\\\Rightarrow R \approx17.5\%

So, the correct answer is \approx <em>17.5% </em>per annum and compounding annually.
