what is the final amount of 17.50 that is put into a saving account with 4 annual interest rate compounded yearly for 25 years?
pickupchik [31]
To find the total amount, you will use the formula for finding compounded interest.  This means you will be paid interest on top of the interest you have earned each year.

A = P(1 + r)^nt
P stands for the principal.
r is the interest rate when compounded annually
nt is the number of years

A = 17.50(1 + 0.04)^25
A = $46.65

This person would have $46.65 after 25 years.

Simplify the expression.<br>36 + 32 + (6 - 3)<br>Show your work.​
dybincka [34]

Answer:

71

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember to always follow PEMDAS as well as the left -> right rule. While you do not need PEMDAS for this expression specifically, it is always good to know it. PEMDAS is the order of operations:

PEMDAS =

Parenthesis

Exponents (& Roots)

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First, solve the parenthesis:

(6 - 3) = 3

Next, simplify, by adding:

36 + 32 + 3 =

68 + 3 = 71

71 is your answer.
