Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's look at the largest triangle (two smaller triangles are combined) to solve for . Since the sum of the angles in a triangle adds up to
, we can write the equation:
Looking at the smaller triangle on the left, (exterior angle) is the sum of the two opposite interior angles of the triangle on the left:
Since is the exterior angle of the triangle on the right, it is equivalent to the sum of the opposite interior angles of that triangle:

We have here the formula for Compound Interest:
Where:
• A is the accrued amount.
,• P is the Principal (the original amount of money, the starting amount of money).
,• r is the interest rate.
,• n is the number of times per year compounded.
,• t is the time in years.
When we have that n is equal to 12, we are talking here about that the amount of money is being compounded monthly (we have 12 months in a year, 12 periods, n = 12). <em>Therefore, we are dividing the rate, r, by the number of compoundings per year, n, and this is the rate per each new compounding period of time, r/n, and, in this case, n = 12 (monthly interest rate). </em>
Therefore, in few words, the fraction (0.04/12) is the monthly interest rate (option C).
[If we see the other options, we have:
• The daily interest rate would be given by 0.04/365.
,• How long the money has been in the account is time, t.
,• The starting balance in the account is the Principal, P. ]
