Answer:

$25,626.53

Step-by-step explanation:

You are going to want to use the compound interest formula, which is shown below.

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}

<em>P = initial balance</em>

<em>r = interest rate (decimal)</em>

<em>n = number of times compounded annually</em>

<em>t = time</em>

<em />

First, change 8.5% into a decimal:

8.5% -> \frac{8.5}{100} -> 0.085

Now lets plug in the values into the equation:

A=10,000(1+\frac{0.085}{12})^{12(15)}

A=35,626.53

Lastly, subtract the total from the initial balance:

35,626.53 - 10,000 = 25,626.53

Michelle earned $25,626.53 in interest.

Brian &amp; Paul share a lottery win of £7800 in the ratio 1 : 4. Brian then shares his part between himself, his wife &amp; the
Elza [17]

Answer:

The wife gets £468 over the son

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we shall calculate the total amount Brian made from from what he and Paul won.

The ratio is 1:4, meaning for every 2 part Brain takes, Paul takes 4

Paul’s share is thus 1/5 * 7800 = 7800/5 = £1560

Now we have another ratio for sharing the amount Brain has at home.

The total ratio here is 1+6+3 = 10

The share of the wife will be 6/10 * 1560 = 6 * 156 = 936

The son share is half of this which is 936/2 = 468

The difference between their shares is £936-£468 = £468

A fair dice is rolled 3 times in a row. The outcomes are shown below.
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

I think this is 1/3 because it is a ratio of successful outcomes to total number of outcomes..

Ex. Rolling a 6 sided dice.. you roll a 5...  it would be 1/6.

Hope that makes sense.

A square park is 75 m long. Find the area of the park.<br>​
Inga [223]
5625 m^2

If is is square, all sides must be congruent (all sides are 75m). To find area, you multiply width x length (how long). Therefore:

75m x 75m = 5626 m^2
