Answer Interest rate = 12.3%
The compound interest formula is given by:
Where
A = Future amount
P = Present amount (Principal amount)
r = Interest rate in decimal form
n = No. of times compounded per year
t = time in years.
We can say that if:
Present amount = P
Future amount = 3P
r = 12.3/100 = 0.123
n = 1
t = ?
Substitute the values in the formula of compound interest:
Taking log on both sides.
Round off to nearest option
t ≅ 9 years
<em>IMPORTANT THIGNS TO REMEMBER:</em>
- Has 20 lb. dog food!
- Gives dog 1 3/5 everyday!
- Find how much eaten after 2 days!
- Find how much is left!
<em>ANSWER:</em>
Dog has eaten 3 1/5 after 2 days!
There is 16 4/5 left in bag!
<em>EXPLANATION:</em>
Since she gives 1 3/5 to her dog everyday and their asking for 2 days you would multiply 1 3/5 × 2 OR add 1 3/5 + 1 3/5
Which would give you 3 1/5
So, the dog has eaten 3 1/5 lb. of dog food in 2 days.
However then, you would subtract 20 lb. - 3 1/5 lb. because there is 20 lb. dog food in all and the dog has eaten 3 1/5 of it. This would give you 16 4/5 lb.
Meaning there is 16 4/5 lb. left in the bag of dog food!
Answer:
the answer is D, because 30/2 is 15.
<span>Let x = 0.5333333333 ...
So 100x = 53.3333333333 ...
and 10x = 5.3333333333 ...
---------------------------------
90x = 53 – 5 = 48.
So x = 48/90 = 8/15 after reduction to lowest terms (by factor of 6)
0.3333... = ⅓. and that 0.5 = ½.
So 0.533333... = 0.5 + 0.0333333...0.5 + 0.3333.../10 = 1/2 + (1/3)/10 = 1/2 + 1/30 = 16/30 = 8/15</span>
