These are the only combinations of exactly 3 tiles that add to 33.

5,7,21

5,9,19

5,11,17

5,13,15

7,9,17

7,11,15

9,11,13

All tiles with numbers above 21 do not help you. 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33, 35, 37, 39, 41, 43, 45. There are 12 of them.

Every three-number combination must have one of the numbers 5, 7, or 9, so if the six numbers from 13 to 21 are picked, in addition to the 12 higher numbers mentioned above, you already picked 18 tiles, and you still have no solution. To obtain the solutions 5,7,21; 5,9,19; 7,9,17; he needs two more numbers in addition to the 18 he already has, so he needs 20 tiles in total to be guaranteed three of them add to exactly 33.

Answer: 20 tiles

If you deposit $5,000 in an account that earns 2% interest, compounded continuously, how much money will be in the account after
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

$5751.37

Step-by-step explanation:

The key phrase here is "compounded continuously".  This phrase tells you that you must use the following equation:


A=Pe^{rt}

Where A is the final amount, P is the principal amount, e is the exponential constant, r is the rate in decimals and t is time.  By plugging in our known values given we obtain:


A=5000e^{0.02 \times 7}=5751.37
