T=I/Pr
t:500/(4000*0.025)
t: 5 yrs
Dear Random17, the question to your answer requires the use of the formula I=Prt. The equation will look like 500=4000(0.025)t. Multiply 4000 times 0.025 to get 500=10t. T=50 years.
8.544 is the sqare root with a remainder
So the train is pulling about 50 cars in total, and there's about 30 boxes of freight in each car.
30 x 50 = 1500
The best estimate would be near 1500 boxes of freight through the whole train.
You would recieve $37.95 a year then multiply that by 7 years to get $265.65
