Invested amount (P) = $300.

Time in years (t) = 2 years.

Balance after 2 years (A) = $329.49.

Let us assume rate of interest = r % compounds annually.

We know, formula for compound interest

A=P(1+r)^t

Plugging values in formula, we get

329.49=300(1+r)^2

\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}300

\frac{300\left(1+r\right)^2}{300}=\frac{329.49}{300}

\left(1+r\right)^2=1.0983

Taking square root on both sides, we get

1+r=\sqrt{1.0983}

\mathrm{Subtract\:}1\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}

1+r-1=\sqrt{1.0983}-1

r=\sqrt{1.0983}-1

r=1.048-1

r=0.048.

Converting it into percentage by multiplying by 100.

r=0.048 × 100

r  = 4.8 %

Therefore, the rate of interest on the account is 4.8% compounds annually.

What is the solution to the system of equations below? 3x-2y=7 and -3x+5y=5
Zolol [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

So you add one over the other

3x-2y=7

-3x+5y=5

=

3y=12

Then you divide 3 from both sides

(3y)/3=12/3

y=4

Then you substitute the y=4 in to the equation of your choice

3x-2(4)=7

3x-8=7

3x-8=7

+8 +8

3x=15

x=5

You have already saved $55. You can earn $9 per hour at your job. You are saving for a bicycle that costs $199. What inequality
Sveta_85 [38]

y = 9x + 55 because the 9x is the amount you get paid an hour, and to get to the 199 you need to include to rate at which you get paid, and add that to how much you already have saved.
