Answer: 21.87

Step-by-step explanation:

First job = 3 pennies

Second job = 9 pennies 

Third job = 27 pennies 

Do you see the pattern? The pennies are being multiplied by 3 every job or tripling.

Fourth job = 81 pennies

Fifth job = 243 pennies

Sixth job = 729 pennies

Seventh job = 2,187

So the answer would be that after the seventh shoveling job you'd receive 21.87 pennies.

Answer:

$72,100

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total principal+interest payment, you can use the formula to find the future value:

FV=PV(1+i)^n

FV= Future value

PV= Present value= $58,200

i= Interest rate= 7.40%

n= Number of periods of time= 3 years

Now, you can replace the values on the formula:

FV=58,200*(1+0.0740)^3

FV=58,200*(1.0740)^3

FV=72,100

According to this, the answer is that the  total principal + interest  payment will be $72,100.

Sonbull [250]

Answer:age of the man: 75 age of the woman:25

Step-by-step explanation:

First, We need to define the variables

x: age of the man

y: age of the woman

at the first time he has three times her age

x=3y                (1)

in 25 years time

(x+25)=2(y+25)                 (2)

we clear the equation

X+25=2y+50

X=2y+25

we substitute in the (1) equation:

2y+25=3y

y=25

x=3*25=75
