Since you already know that the first 50 meters took 1min you can subtract
400meters-50meters=350meters
350meters÷50meters=7minutes
It increases at 12 sec./min for 7mins
1.12,1.24,1.36,1.48,2.00,2.12,2.24= 11.56+1.00=12.56min
Non proportional it should be
Y > .5x + 2
Hope this helps
The answer is indeed 3,725.90. The reason why is because <span>with each adjustment, you take the remaining balance and calculate a fixed rate loan for the remaining time period at the new rate. When you follow that procedure with the data you already have, you get that answer.</span>
