Answer:
7.6
Step-by-step explanation:
I know math!!!!!!!!!!
Your interest formula is given to you.
Interest in a year = principal (the amount invested) * rate (the interest rate) * period (the time you're measuring)
Interest = 55,000 * 2% * 1 year = 55,000 * 0.02 * 1 = $1,100
How much would you need to have made for your spending power to keep with inflation? Your interest rate would have needed to match the inflation rate, otherwise prices are going up faster than you're saving.
Required interest = 55,000 * 3.24% * 1 year = 55,000 * 0.0324 * 1 = $1,782
How much buying power did you lose? The difference between your required interest and your actual interest.
Buying power lost = 1,782 - 1,100 = $682. You lost this much in buying power.
Hope that helped :)
So, there is a rectangular park with longer side (length) 150 yards and shorter side (width) 125 yards.
so walking around the rectangular park once is like covering the Perimeter (p) of the rectangular park.
So, lets find the perimeter of the park.
Perimeter of rectangle = 2 ( l + w)
= 2 ( 150 + 125 )
= 2 * 275
= 550 yards
Now, walking around the park two times is like doubling the Perimeter of the rectangle. So, when Debbie walks around the park 2 times, he covers the perimeter of the rectangular field twice.
i.e. Debbie walked 2 * Perimeter
= 2 * 550
= 1100 yards
Now, If Debbie wanted to walk 1,000,000 yards, she has to walk the rectangular park (1,000,000 / the Perimeter of the park)
i.e. 1,000,000 / 550
= 1818.18 times
So,
(a) she walks 1100 yards
(b) She have to walk 1818.18 times
y= -x/2 + 1 is the answer
