Answer:

The number of candies in the sixth jar is 42.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that there are <em>x</em> number of candies in each of the six jars.

⇒ After Alice moves half of the candies from the first jar to the second jar, the number of candies in the second jar is:

$\text{Number of candies in the 2nd jar}=x+\fracx}{2}=\frac{3}{2}x$

⇒ After Boris moves half of the candies from the second jar to the third jar, the number of candies in the third jar is:

$\text{Number of candies in the 3rd jar}=x+\frac{3x}{4}=\frac{7}{4}x$

⇒ After Clara moves half of the candies from the third jar to the fourth jar, the number of candies in the fourth jar is:

$\text{Number of candies in the 4th jar}=x+\frac{7x}{4}=\frac{15}{8}x$

⇒ After Dara moves half of the candies from the fourth jar to the fifth jar, the number of candies in the fifth jar is:

$\text{Number of candies in the 5th jar}=x+\frac{15x}{16}=\frac{31}{16}x$

⇒ After Ed moves half of the candies from the fifth jar to the sixth jar, the number of candies in the sixth jar is:

$\text{Number of candies in the 6th jar}=x+\frac{31x}{32}=\frac{63}{32}x$

Now, it is provided that at the end, 30 candies are in the fourth jar.

Compute the value of <em>x</em> as follows:

$\text{Number of candies in the 4th jar}=40\\\\\frac{15}{8}x=40\\\\x=\frac{40\times 8}{15}\\\\x=\frac{64}{3}$

Compute the number of candies in the sixth jar as follows:

$\text{Number of candies in the 6th jar}=\frac{63}{32}x\\$

$=\frac{63}{32}\times\frac{64}{3}\\\\=21\times2\\\\=42$

Thus, the number of candies in the sixth jar is 42.

Justin deposited $2,000 into an account 5 years ago. Simple interest was paid on the account. He has just withdrawn $2,876. What

RSB [31]

Answer: 8.76%

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the simple interest is given by :-

$I=Prt$ , where P is the principal amount, r is rate of interest () in decimal and t is the time ( in years). (1)

Given : Justin deposited $2,000 into an account 5 years ago.

i.e. P = $2,000 , t= 5 years

He has just withdrawn $2,876. i.e. Future value = $2,876

Interest (I)=$2,876-$2,000=$876 [Subtract Principal value from Future value]

Substitute all the above values of P , t , and I in the formula (1) , we get

$876 =(2000)r(5)\\\\\Rightarrow\ r=\dfrac{876 }{2000\times5}\\\\\Rightarrow r=\dfrac{876}{10000}=0.0876$

In percent , $r=0.0876\times100=8.76\%$

Hence, the rate of interest = 8.76%
