Answer:
$97,958.42
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem we can use the compound interest formula which is shown below:
<em>P = initial balance
</em>
<em>r = interest rate
</em>
<em>t = time
</em>
<em>
</em>
First change 6.5% to its decimal form:
6.5% -> 
-> 0.065
Next plug in the values:

A ratio of 5:7 means out of 12 books, 5 are in one category and 7 are in another. (The “category” isn’t specified in this problem.)
So here we’re STARTING with 36 books; we want to find a ratio that is equal to 5:7 and adds up to 36. Well 36 = 3(12), and so if we multiply each number in the ratio by 3 as well, we might get what we want. Doing that gives us 15:21, which adds up to 36 and is equal to 5:7. Boom, that’s the answer.
P.S. Here’s a question you can think about: why do ratios stay the same when you multiply each number by the same amount? (For example, why is 3:1 the same as 6:2?)
