We are given the following information
Investment = $5200
Annual interest rate = 4.2% = 0.042
Final amount = $16,500
Number of years = 27.7 years
Number of compoudings = quartely = 4
The student uses the following model

The general formula for compound interest is given by

As you can see, the number of compoundings is incorrect (3 vs 4)
The interest rate is also incorrect.
Let us substitute the given values into the above formula

Therefore, the final amount is approximately $16,543.5
If it is 35% off, then u r paying 65%...
0.65(128.25) = 83.36....this is without the tax
and there is a 4% sales tax....
83.36 * 1.04 = 86.69 <====
We know that m ║ n.
Let's first find the value 'x'.
When two lines are parallel, and a transversal is drawn, the angles on the same side of the transversal are equivalent.
This means that (5x + 16)° and (7x + 4)° are equivalent.
Equating them,
5x + 16 = 7x + 4
16 - 4 = 7x - 5x
12 = 2x
x = 12/2
x = 6°
Since we know the value of 'x', let's substitute them into the angles and find out the actual measurements.
5x + 16 = 5 × 6 + 16 = 30 + 16 = 46°.
7x + 4 = 7 × 6 + 4 = 42 + 4 = 46°.
Now let's find the value of 'y'.
If you observe carefully, (7x + 4)° and (y + 6)° form a linear pair.
This means that both those angles should add upto 180°.
Using that theory, the following equation can be framed:
(y + 6)°+ (7x + 4)° = 180°
Since we know the actual value of (7x + 4)°, let's substitute that value and move ahead.
(y + 6)° + 46° = 180°
y + 6 + 46° = 180
y + 52° = 180°
y = 180° - 52°
y = 128°
Therefore, the values of 'x' and 'y' are 46° and 128° respectively.
Hope it helps. :)
Answer:
6/2(1+2)
the 2 will divide 6 or go into 6 ,how many times, 3 times because 2*3=6
next 1+2=3
therefore 3(3) =9
