Answer:

8 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound interest formula

A(t)= A_0(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}

A(t) is the final amount 55000

A_0= 40000, r= 4% = 0.04, for quarterly n=4

55000=40000(1+\frac{0.04}{4})^{4t}

divide both sides by 40000

1375=(1+\frac{0.04}{4})^{4t}

1375=(1.01)^{4t}

Take ln on both sides

ln(1375)=4tln(1.01)

divide both sides by ln(1.01)

\frac{ln 1375}{ln 1.01}=4t

Divide both sides by 4

t=8.00108

So it takes 8 years

A boat traveled 225 miles each way downstream and back. The trip downstream took 9 hours. The trip back took 15 hours. What is t
Karolina [17]

Answer:

Boat = 20 mph

Current = 5 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

If b is the speed of the boat, and c is the speed of the current, then:

b + c = 225 / 9 = 25

b − c = 225 / 15 = 15

Solve the system of equations with elimination.

2b = 40

b = 20

Plug back into either equation to find the speed of the current.

c = 5
