Answer:

The smallest amount is \£6,911

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that    

The compound interest formula is equal to  

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}  

where  

A is the Final Investment Value  

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested  

r is the rate of interest  in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods  

n is the number of times interest is compounded per year

in this problem we have  

t=3\ years\\ A=\£8,000\\ r=5\%=5/100=0.05\\n=1  

substitute in the formula above

8,000=P(1+\frac{0.05}{1})^{1*3}  

solve for P

8,000=P(1.05)^{3}  

P=8,000/(1.05)^{3}  

P=\£6,910.70  

Round to the nearest pound she can invest

The smallest amount is \£6,911

Last year , there were 30 male members and 20 female members in a Chess Club . This year , the number of male members is decreas
LekaFEV [45]

The r% of a quantity x is computed by dividing x in 100 parts, and considering r of such parts. So, the r% of the male is

30\times\cfrac{r}{100} = 0.3 r

and similarly, the r% of female is

20\times\cfrac{r}{100} = 0.2 r

The number of males decreased by this quantity, so now it is

30 - 0.3r

and the number of female increased by this quantity, so now it is

20+0.2r

we know that these two new counts are the same number, so we can build and solve the equality

30 - 0.3r = 20+0.2r

Subtract 20 and add 0.3r from both sides:

10 = 0.5r

Divide both sides by 0.5 to solve for r:

r = 20

Let's check the answer

The 20% of 30 is 30 \times \frac{20}{100} = 6, while the 20% of 20 is 4. So, we are stating that 30-6 = 20+4 which is true because both expressions evaluate to 24.
