Answer:

Rebecca is incorrect. The equivalent quarterly interest rate is 1.75%.

Explanation:

The formula for compound interest is i = r/n.

r represents the interest rate in decimal form.

n represents the compounding periods in a year.

Calculate the interest rate for 7% compounded quarterly:

Since interest compounded quarterly is four times a year, n = 4.

7% is converted to decimal form by dividing by 100.

7 / 100 = 0.07

r = 0.07

Substitute these into the formula:

i = r/n

= 0.07/4

= 0.0175

0.0175 is in decimal form. To convert it to a percentage, multiply it by 100.

0.0175 X 100 = 1.75%

1.75% ≠ 2%

Therefore, Rebecca is incorrect. The equivalent quarterly interest rate is 1.75%.

How do you solve a/7+5/7=2/7
Anton [14]
\frac{a}{7} + \frac{5}{7} = \frac{2}{7} \\ \frac{a + 5}{7} = \frac{2}{7} \\ 7(\frac{a + 5}{7}) = 7(\frac{2}{7})
a + 5 = 2
a + 5 - 5 = 2 - 5
a = -3

Hope this helps! :)
