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%

Chen completed the division problem below.
alekssr [168]

<u>Answer:</u>

B. He multiplied the dividend by 100 instead of 10.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Chen had to divide 1.926 by 0.9. To make it easier to divide, he thought of multiplying both the dividend and the divisor by 10.

Chen multiplied the divisor by 10 but mistakenly multiplied the dividend by 100 instead of 10.

So his whole division problem was changed.

Therefore, the correct answer option is B. He multiplied the dividend by 100 instead of 10.

A party rental company has chairs and tables for rent. The total cost to rent
Paha777 [63]

Let c= cost to rent each other

Let t= cost to rent each other

2c+3t=25

6T+5T=49

Multiply the 2nd equation by (-2) and add equation together  

2c+3t=25

-12c-10t= 98

2t=98

T=49

Put this value into the 1st equation solve c

2c+3(49)=49

2c+147=49

2c=98

C=49

Cost to each chair and table are same 49.
