Studies show that the average American has $4,878 in credit card debt with an average interest rate of 12.78% compounded monthly

. If it took the average American 20 years to pay off their debt, how much would they be paying total?

Answer:

They would be paying a total of $62,005.34¢

Step-by-step explanation:

  In order to calculate the total amount that an average American who borrowed the sum will pay, we will be making use of the compound interest formula since the interest on the loan given to an average American is compounded monthly.

 Formula for compound interest is:

  Fv = Pv × (1 + r/n)^n×t

Where,

           Fv = future value (the total amount that an American will pay)

           Pv = present value (initial amount borrowed)

           r = rate of interest

           n = number of times of compounding in a year

           t = time (period a loan will run)

 

 Here,

         Pv = 4,878

          r = 12.78% or 0.1278

         n = 12(every month)

         t = 20

  Substituting appropriately we will have:

  Fv = 4,878 × [1 + (0.1278/12)]^12×20

       = 4,878 × (1 + 0.01065)^240

       = 4,878 × (1.01065)^240

       = 4,878 × 12.7112213

       = $62,005.34¢

 Therefore, the total amount that an American who borrowed that initial amount will be paying after a period of 20 years is $62,005.34¢

Answer:

$62,005.34

Step-by-step explanation:

If the interest rate is 12.78% compounded monthly, we can use the formula a = p(1+r/n)^nt

where a is the final value to be paid, p is the inicial value, r is the interest rate, n is the number of months in a year and t is the time in years

So, the total debt will be:

y = 4878 * (1+0.1278/12)^240 = $62,005.34

You purchase 4 videos. The original price of each video is x dollars. You decide to purchase the limited edition versions of the
atroni [7]

You purchase 4 videos

The original price of each video is x dollars

You decide to purchase the limited edition versions of the videos for an additional cost

Your total cost is (4x + 20) dollars

So, total additional cost is $20

since, we are purchasing 4 videos

so, additional cost in each videos is

=\frac{20}{4}

=5

So, limited edition cost additional $5 per videos.........Answer

At a sand and gravel plant, sand is falling off a conveyor and onto a conical pile at a rate of 10 cubic feet per minute. The di

Answer:

0.0063 ft / min

Step-by-step explanation:

From the problem statement we have that the variation in volume with respect to time is equal 10, like this:

dV / dt = 10 ft ^ 3 / min

We know that the volume of the cone is given by the equation:

V = (1/3) * Pi * r ^ 2 * h

Now, we are mentioned that the diameter of the base of the cone is approximately three times the altitude, therefore:

2r = 3h, solving for r we have:

r = (3/2) * h, replacing the volume equation:

V = (1/3) * Pi * [(3h / 2) ^ 2] * h, solving we have:

V = (3/4) * Pi * h ^ 3

They ask us to calculate the change in height with respect to time, that is dh / dt

Therefore we derive both sides with respect to time, we have to:

dV / dt = (3/4) * Pi [3 * (h ^ 2) dh / dt] = (9/4) * pi * (h ^ 2) * dh / dt

reorganizing for dh / dt, we have:

dh / dt = [4/9 * pi * (h ^ 2)] * dV / dt

Knowing that h is 15 and dV / dt is 10, we replace these values:

dh / dt = [4/9 * 3.14 * (15 ^ 2)] * 10 = 0.0063 ft / min

0.0063 ft / min would be the change in height with respect to time.
