If you save $3,000 at an interest rate of
juin [17]
Amount earned in compound interest = P(1 + r)^n; where P is the principal, r is the rate and n is the number of periods.

Amount = 3,000(1 + 14%)^6 = 3,000(1 + 0.14)^6 = 3,000(1.14)^6 = $6,584.91

Erin writes the set of ordered pairs below. The set represents a function.
tino4ka555 [31]
Point A shows that she is incorrect.
With functions, you can perform the "straight line test through each point. If the line goes through both points, you know it's not a function.
If we plotted point A, it'd fail the straight line test because the given point (-6, 7) already has -6 as an x value.
Hope this helps!

Robert slices a large loaf of bread to make 12 sandwiches. He made 3 turkey sandwiches and 5 veggie sandwiches. The rest are ham
lions [1.4K]
We already know that there are 12 sandwiches.

If there are 3 turkey and 5 veggie then there's 8 out of 12 sandwiches that aren't ham.

12 sandwiches - 8 non-ham sandwiches = 4 ham sandwiches

Now we know there are 4/12 ham sandwiches

We need to simplify this now.
4/12 can be divided by 4

4 goes into 4 1 time and 4 goes into 12 3 times making the answer 1/3

1/3 of the sandwiches are ham.
