Answer: $7,488
Step-by-step explanation:
For answer B:
The formula for the new balance would be A=P(1 + r)t
A = new balance
P = principal balance -> $900
r = rate (in decimal form)
t = time in years -> 8 years
To find the rate, convert 4% to decimal
4/100 = 0.04
A=P(1+ r)t
A=900(1+0.04)8
A=900(1.04)8
A=$7,488
I think this is the answer X = 3 + 1/2y
Reduce fractions to their most simple form
12/14 you can divide both up and bottom by 2
12/14→6/7
24/28, both up and bottom can be divided by 4
24/28→6/7
6/7=6/7=6/7
