<u>Answer-</u>

<em>$23377</em><em> must be deposited to get $68000 at the end of 30 years.</em>

<u>Solution-</u>

We know that for compound interest,

A=P(1+\dfrac{r}{n})^{nt}

Where,

A = Future amount = $68,000

P = ??

r = 3.575% annual = 0.03575

n = 4 as interest is compounded quarterly

t = time in year = 30 years

Putting the values,

\Rightarrow 68000=P(1+\dfrac{0.03575}{4})^{4\times 30}

\Rightarrow 68000=P(1.0089375)^{120}

\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{68000}{(1.0089375)^{120}}

\Rightarrow P=23377.45

Therefore, $23377 must be deposited to get $68000 at the end of 30 years.

Answer:

Option b- $23,377

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : An account earning 3.575% interest compounded quarterly so that it has an accumulated value of $68,000 at the end of 30 years.

To find : How much principal would need to be placed into an account?

Solution :

Using compound interest formula,

A=P(1+\dfrac{r}{n})^{nt}

Where,

A = Future amount = $68,000

P = Principal value =?

r = 3.575% annual = 0.03575

n = 4  (interest is compounded quarterly)

t = time in year = 30 years

Putting the values,

68000=P(1+\dfrac{0.03575}{4})^{4\times 30}

\Rightarrow 68000=P(1.0089375)^{120}

\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{68000}{(1.0089375)^{120}}

\Rightarrow P=23377.45

Therefore, $23,377 must be deposited to get $68000 at the end of 30 years.

Hence, Option b is correct.

Which of the following is true about the expression below?
agasfer [191]
Answer:

The first one

Explanation:

9 and 1/4 are both rational numbers (which are numbers that can be represented in a fraction; 9 can be represented as 9/1)
And since it equals to 9/4 (or 2 1/4) the product is also a rational number.

Part A: Explain why x = 5 makes 4x - 1 3 19 true but not 4x - 1 19
Olenka [21]

Answer:

<em>Part A</em>: Explain why x = 5 makes 4x - 1 ≤ 19 true but not 4x - 1 < 19

<em>Part B: x=9</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Part A</u>: Because the first one is less than or equal to 19 and the other is just      less than.

x = 5

TRUE:   4x - 1 ≤ 19    =    20-1 ≤ 19    =    19 ≤ 19  

             19 is less than or equal to 19 so its true

FALSE:  4x - 1 < 19    =    19 < 19  

              19 is not greater than 19

<u>Part B:</u>  

5x + 2 = 47  subtract 2 from both sides

5x = 45  divide both sides by 5

x = 9

To check we can plug it back in

5x + 2 = 47

5(9) + 2 = 47

45 + 2 = 47

47 = 47

TRUE

Please. help. now. thanks. so. much.
Brut [27]

Answer:

318.395976 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a square is A = s².  s is the length of one side.

Solve the formula for area to find the length of a side.

A = s²

176 = s²

s = √176

s ≈ 13.266499 in

Count how many sides consist of the perimeter.  I counted 24.  Multiply 24 by the length of one side.

24 × 13.266499 = 318.395976
