Answer:

You had $118 the beginning of the month.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Method 1:</em>

Work the question backwards

You end up with $120, which resulted from depositing (or adding) $24,

So subtract that amount to see how much there was before the deposit

So before the deposit, you had $120 - $24, which is $96.


The $96 resulted from withdrawing (or subtracting) $22.

So add that amount to see how much there was before the withdrawal.

So before the withdrawal, you had $96 + $22, which was $118


<em>Method 2:</em>

Look at the difference between the withdrawal and deposit.  Treat a withdrawal as a negative number since you are subtracting, or reducing the amount in the account.  Treat any deposit as a positive number since you are adding to the amount in the account.  

You withdrew 22, and deposited 24.  Reword this as

You subracted 22 and added 24.    Rewrite this as

-22 + 24    which simpifies to 2

So you added $2 overall during the month.  You have $120, so

$120 - $2 is $118

icang [17]
What do you mean by "relative growth rate?"

You need to specify whether this situation involves compounding, and, if it does, whether it's continuous compounding, monthly, annual or what.

Just supposing that it's semi-annual compounding:


A = $35000 (1 + 0.051/2)^(5*2)

   = $35000(1.0255)^10   =   $35000 (1.2863) = $45021.99   (answer)
