Answer:

30 Gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay so you need to start by making an equation for yourself. Since the container starts at 1/10 of the total, you want to start by saying 1/10x. Then you add 12 gallons of water to make it half full. So 1/10x + 12 = 1/2x where x is the total amount that can fit in the container.

1/10x + 12 = 1/2x (Move your x's to the same side.)

12 = 1/2x - 1/10x (Find a common denominator.)

12 = 5/10x - 1/10x (Simplify/)

12 = 4/10x (Multiply both sides by 10; your demoninator)

120 = 4x (Divide)

x = 30

Your container holds 30 gallons.

ctto JBarnum

Step-by-step explanation:

P+11=(1/2)(P-13)^2

P+11=(1/2)(P^2-26p+169)

2(P+11)=(1/2)(2)(P^2-26p+169)

2P+22=P^2-26p+169

0=P^2-28p+147 ( -7 and -21)

(P-7)(P-21)=0

P=7,21 (cant be 7 as 13 years from 7 is negative so peter is 21)

checking:

21+11=32

32=(1/2)(21-13)^2

32=(1/2)(8)^2

32=(1/2)64

32=32

Answer:

$\$17,846.12$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The compound interest formula is equal to

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

where

A is the Final Investment Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods

n is the number of times interest is compounded per year

in this problem we have

$t=10\ years\\ A=\$20,000\\ r=0.0114\\n=12$

substitute in the formula above

$\$20,000=P(1+\frac{0.0114}{12})^{12*10}$

$P=\$20,000/[(1+\frac{0.0114}{12})^{120}]$

$P=\$17,846.12$
