Answer: 13.29%

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate the compound amount (compounded continuously) is given by :-

A=Pe^{rt}, where P is the principal amount , r is the rate of interest ( in decimal) and t is the time period.

Given : P= $ 35,000 , A=  $257,000 and t=15 years

To find : r , we substitute all the values in the above formula , we get

257000=(35000)e^{15r}\\\\\Rightarrow\ e^{15r}=\dfrac{257000}{35000}\\\\\Rightarrow\ e^{15r}=7.3428

Taking natural log on both the sides , we get

15r=\ln(7.3428)\\\\\Rightarrow\ 15r=1.9937\\\\\Rightarrow\ r=\dfrac{1.9937}{15}0.132913333333\approx0.1329=13.29\%

Hence, the annual interest rate = 13.29%

Morgan  20    X              20X

Corona  25  X – ¼  25(X – ¼)  

If they meet each other, they need to travle the same distance, mean :  

20X = 25(X – ¼)  

X = 1.25
