We can use ratios and the cross-multiply-divide to find this.



The ratio 21:5 is avaliable via the question. We then need to compare that to the ratio x:100, the 100 being the percent and the x being the number of airplane parts.



21/5 = x/100



We can then solve for x to find the number of airplane parts. First we multiply by 100 on both sides to get 2100/5 = x. Therefore x = 420 and there are 420 airplane parts.

Find the interest earned and the future value of an annuity with weekly payments of $400 for three years into an account that pa
qaws [65]

Answer:

the interest earned= 93.401

and the future value of an annuity= 493.401

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Data:

Interest rate= 7%

time,t = 3 years

weekly payment, P= 400

At the end of 3 years, final investment A= ?

n= 52 as it is weekly

As per the interest formula

A= P(1+r/n)^nt

Putting value in above equation

= 400\left(1+\frac{0.07}{52}\right)^{156}

= 493.401

Interest earned = A-P

                           = 493.401-400

                          = 93.401 !

0.48 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

It is given that the grade(slope) is 4%. This means that for every 100 miles traveled, the elevation changes by 4 miles.

Step 2

Hence for a distance of 12 miles , the elevation changes by 12*4/100 = 48/100 = 0.48 miles. [Using direct proportion]
