Answer:
$20.01
Step-by-step explanation:
In 2004–2012, the interest rate is 0.002%. In 2013, it is 0.004%. In 2014–2021, the interest rate is 0.002%. That is, in the 18 years between 2004 and 2021 (inclusive), the interest rate is 0.002% for 17 of them. The effective account multiplier is ...
(1.00002^17)(1.00004^1) = 1.00038006801
Then the account balance is ...
$20 × 1.00038006801 ≈ $20.01

<em>Additional comment</em>
The annual interest earned on $20.00 is $0.0004. If the account balance is rounded to the nearest cent annually, at the end of the 18 years, the balance will still be $20.00. Not enough interest is earned in one year to increase the balance above $20. At the end of the 18 years, the amount of interest earned is 0.76¢ (a fraction of a penny) <em>only if there is no rounding in intervening years</em>.
4.8 pounds, set it up as 4 over 10 times x over 12, to find x multiply 4 by 12, and divide by ten. The result is 4.8
180-2(55)-x=0
180-110-x=0
70-x=0
-x=-70
x=70°
