Answer:

16 1/4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming interest is compounded annually, the account balance (A) after t years will be ...

A = P(1 +r)^t

3200 = 1700·1.0397^t

log(3200) = log(1700) +t·log(1.0397)

t = (log(3200) -log(1700))/log(1.0397) ≈ 16.247

The account will reach a balance of $3200 after about 16 1/4 years.

umka21 [38]

Answer:

red = 52

Green = 156

Step-by-step explanation:

The 208 has to be divided by 4.

Three wands = 3 parts

The read wands = 1

3x + x = 208 Combine terms

4x = 208 Divide by 4

x = 208/4

x = 52

Now the red wands = 52

The Green wand<u>s =156</u> (3 times 52)

Total 208 Just as it should
