<span><span>1.       </span>We
have the given number = 5 x 381
Let’s show how to multiply this given equation using its expanded form and
place value
=> 5 x 381
since we’re multiplying, we will start with the ones value which is 1
=> 5 x 1 = 5
Second is on the tens value
=> 5 x 80 = 400
Third is the hundreds value
=> 5 x 300 = 1 500
Now, we already have the answer to each values. Add
=> 1 500 + 400 + 5
=> 1 905</span>
        
             
        
        
        
Valdez Company opened a special checking account. The charge for each check written was either $.55 or a $6-a-month minimum service charge (whichever is greater). At the beginning of the month, the company checkbook balance was $695.18. Valdez Company wrote 14 checks totaling $312.88. Deposits of $188.10 and $195.10 were made during the month. What's Valdez's checkbook balance to start the next month (including the cost of check writing)?
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:
5. f(x) = 10,000 (1.5)^x
Step-by-step explanation:
We would have to multiply the original amount by 1.50^x because the initial amount would be 1, and 50% increase would be .5 so 1.5 and you raise it to the number of years to show the total increase.
Let's test it.
Initial:
10,000
After 1 year
10,000 + (.5*10000)
10,000 + 5000 = 15,000
After 2 years
15,000 + (.5*15000)
15,000 + 7500 = 22,500
Let's try our equation.
f(x) = 10,000 (1.5)^x
x = 2
10,000(1.5)^2
10,000(2.25) = 22,500
The same! 
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
The correct answer for this question is this one: "D it increases by $1,800,000"
<span>If the federal reserve decreases the reserve rate from 2.5% to 1.25%,  this affect the amount of money that would result because of fractional reserve banking from an initial deposit in a bank of $45,000 is that </span><u>it increases by $1,800,000</u>Hope this helps answer your question and have a nice day ahead.
