You put $800 in an account that earns 4% simple interest. Find the total amount in your account after each year for 3 years. (Pl
alexandr402 [8]
To get 4% of 800 you times 800 by 4 and divide it by 100. Once you have that amount you add it to 800 to find the amount you will have in your bank the first year. To get the next year's amount you then get 4% of 832(because after the first year you have more than $800) and then add the 4% to 832, that is the answer for the second year. To find the third year's amount you get 4% of the new amount (last year's total) and add it to last year's total, that is your total for the third year. So the first year will be: (800x4÷100)+800 =32+800 =832 The second year will be: 832+(832x4÷100) =832+33.28 =865.28 The third year will be: (865.28×4÷100)+865.28 =34.61(rounded off)+865.28 =899.89

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

y=2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

Y is the total amount that the family pays. 2x represents 2 dollars for every person (so, 2 multiplied by the number of people). Finally, 3 represents the initial amount that they must pay, no matter how many are in the car.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Because dividing any term by the previous term gives a constant this is a geometric sequence of the form an=y^(n-1). Since each term is four times the previous term y=4 so

Josiah is taking his friends to the movies. Each ticket costs $10, and popcorn is $5 a bag. There is a $3 service fee for the en
gregori [183]
<span>Each ticket costs $10. He bought "x" tickets. Ticket cost = 10*x
Each bag of popcorn costs $5.
He bought "y" bags of popcorn.
Popcorn cost = 5*y Service fee: $3
Total cost = 10x + 5y + 3 <= $75 is the inequality.
10x + 5y <= 72
If x = 4,
then 40 + 5y <= 72
5y <= 32
y <= 6.4
So y = 6 bags of popcorn.</span>
