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%.

lord [1]

Answer:

b. 8,800,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

In maria study the number of cars on the road increases by 10% each year.

Total number of cars in the first year =80 million cars.

We will add 10% of 80 million to 80 milion to enable us get the number of cars for the second year.

For year 2 we have;

10% of 80,000,000+80,000,000

\frac{10}{100}*80,000,000+80,000,000

8,000,000 + 80,000,000

88,000,000

number of cars in year 2 = 88 million

We will add 10% of 88 million to 88 milion to enable us get the number of cars for the third year.

\frac{10}{100}*88,000,000+88,000,000

8,800,000+88,000,000

96,800,000

the number of cars on the road in year 3 compared to year 2 will just be the increase which is in BOLD. That is 8,800,000

<em>or simply subtract the number of cars in year 2 from that in year 3;</em>

96,800,000-88,000,000 = 8,800,000

satela [25.4K]

1 m = 100 cm, so 5 m = 500 cm plus the 32 cm, so she has a rope that is 532 cm long.

532 - 249 = 283 cm

So the other piece of rope is 283 cm long.
