Answer:

200

Step-by-step explanation:

40 divided by a number must equal 20%

40/x=20/100

Cross multiply

20*x=40*100

20x=4000

Divide by 20 on both sides

x=200

podryga [215]

Hello :
$\frac{5}{a} - \frac{2}{1-a} = \frac{2}{a-1} = \frac{5}{a}+ \frac{2}{a-1} = \frac{2}{a-1}
= \frac{5(a-1)+2a}{a(a-1)} = \frac{2a}{a(a-1)} 
(a \neq 1 , a \neq 0)
$
5a-5 +2a =2a
5a =5
a=1 ( refused)
conclusion : none

Alex wants to have $2,500 in his bank account after 2 years. If the account earns 5% interest compunded 2 times per year, how mu

natka813 [3]

$A=P(1+ \frac{r}{n})^{nt}$
A=futurer amount
P=present amount
r=rate in decimal
n=number of times compounded per year
t=time in years

A=2500
r=0.05
n=2
t=2

$2500=P(1+ \frac{0.05}{2})^{(2)(2)}$
$2500=P(1+ 0.025)^{4}$
$2500=P(1.025)^{4}$
$2500=P(1.025)^{4}$
divide both sides by [tex} 1.025^{4} [/tex]
2264.88=P
