Answer:

  b.  $1,587.57

Step-by-step explanation:

A financial calculator will tell you the value of Madeline's account after  8 years will be $16,287.57. In that time, she will have deposited ...

  $300 +96×150 = $14,700

The interest earned is the difference between her account balance and the amount she deposited:

  $16,287.57 -14,700 = $1,587.57 . . . interest earned

_____

<em>Account value calculation</em>

The future value of the initial $300 deposit after 8 years is ...

  A = P(1 +r/n)^(nt)

for principal P earning annual rate r compounded n times per year for t years.

  A = $300(1 +0.0245/12)^(12·8) ≈ $364.89

The future value of the sum of $150 deposits monthly (at the beginning of the month) will be ...

  A = $150((1+r/n)^(nt) -1)(1 +n/r) = $15,922.68

So, the total value of Madeline's account in 8 years is ...

  $364.89 +15,922.68 = $16,287.57

_____

<em>Comment on account value</em>

In problems of this nature, it is always necessary to determine when the deposits are made relative to when the account value is measured. Here, we assume the $300 deposit is immediate, and its value is measured 8 years hence.

The monthly deposits are not described in that detail. In order to get any of the numbers in the answer list, we need to assume the deposits are at the beginning of the month. If we assume they are at the end of the month, the amount of interest is reduced by about $33.18, the last month's interest.

In a drawer there are 6 black socks,8 white socks,2 red socks, and 4 blue socks. A boy takes one socks from the drawer, without
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Chance is also referred to as probability

probability = Number of event/Total samples space

If there are 6 black socks,8 white socks,2 red socks, and 4 blue socks in a drawer, the total number of socks will be the sample space

Sample space = 6 + 8 + 2 + 4

Sample space = 20socks

Total number of blue socks is the event

Number of event = 4 blue socks

Chance that the socks is blue = n(E)/n(S)

Chance that the socks is blue = 4/20

Chance that the socks is blue = 1/5
