Ok, so 120 pages plus the 60% of the book she has left to read will give the total number of pages.

That means that 120 pages is 40% of the book.

Make a proportion

120/40% = x/60%

72 = .4 x

x = 180 pages

Answer:

$A(x) = 12000(1.04)^x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound interest:

The compound interest formula is given by:

$A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

Where A(t) is the amount of money after t years, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year and t is the time in years for which the money is invested or borrowed.

$12000 cash

This means that $P = 12000$
