In March, a family starts saving for a vacation they are planning for the end of August. The family expects the vacation to cost

$1370. They start with $125 at the start of each month they plan to deposit 20% more than the previous month. Will they have enough money for their trip? If not, how much more do they need?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The savings for each month is increasing by 20%. It means that it is increasing in geometric progression. The formula for determining the sum of n terms, Sn of a geometric sequence is expressed as

Sn = (ar^n - 1)/(r - 1)

Where

n represents the number of terms(months) in the sequence.

a represents the first term in the sequence.

r represents the common ratio.

From the information given,

a = $125

r = 1 + 20/100 = 1.2

From March to August, it is 5 months. Thus,

n = 5 months

Therefore, the sum of the first 8

5 terms(months), S5 is

S5 = (125 × 1.2^(5) - 1)/1.2 - 1

S5 = (125 × 1.48832)/0.2

S5 = 186.04/0.2

S5 = $930.2

They won't have enough money for the trip.

The additional amount of money that they need is

1370 - 930.2 = $439.8

In NEED OF HELP! SO Frustrating!
vitfil [10]

ja, yo is correct, just expand that formula with your calculator

each one is 5% bigger than pevious

each one=previous+previous*5%

each one=previous*1+previous*0.05

each one=previous*(1+0.05)


each one is 1.05 times of previous

so after n years, if today year size is P then

A=P(1.05)^n

A=final size

so ya, after 18 years, n=18 so you get

A=859(1.05)^{18}

A=2067.29 microliters
