These are the steps. Just follow the numbers on the left hand side. Hopes this helps. The answer is -3.
Well, we need to find the area of the cake. 22.5 times 10 is 225. That is the area then we need to find the area of each piece of cake. 2.5 times 2.5 is 6.26.
so divide the area of the cake by the area of each piece to find how many pieces can be cut.
225/6.25=36 36 pieces of cake can be cut from the cake
<span>We are not told how often the interest is compounded, so assuming it is <em /><u><em>compounded yearly</em></u>, you need to keep $9.99 in the account to pay the fee.
<u><em>Explanation: </em></u>
Compound interest follows the formula A=p(1+r)^t,
where:
A is the total amount in the account,
p is the amount of principal,
r is the interest rate as a decimal number,
and t is the number of years.
<u>For our problem: </u>
A = 9.99,
p is unknown,
r = 0.018% = 0.00018,
and t=1.
<u>This gives us: </u>
9.99=p(1+0.00018)^1;
9.99=p(1.00018).
<u>Divide both sides by 1.00018: </u>
9.99=p.</span>
