Answer:

p = 10800(0.975)^{t}

Step-by-step explanation:

There was a population of 108000 in a small town in 2002. Since then, the population has decreased at a  rate of 2.5% each year.

Therefore, the population is decreasing at a compound rate of 2.5% each year.

Now, using the formula of compounding we can write if p is the population after t years, then  

p = 10800( 1 - \frac{2.5}{100} )^{t}

⇒ p = 10800(0.975)^{t} (Answer)

1. You owe $2,348.62 on a credit card with an 8.75% APR. You pay $300.00 toward the card at the beginning of the month and anoth
satela [25.4K]
Part 1:

After payment of $300, remaining balance = $2,348.62 - $300 = $2,048.62.
Interest accrued is given by:

I=Prt \\  \\ =2,048.62\times0.0875\times \frac{1}{12}  \\  \\ =\$14.94

Had it been $600 was paid, remaining balance = $2,348.62 - $600 = $1748.62. Interest accrued is given by:

I=1,748.62\times0.0875\times \frac{1}{12}  \\  \\ =$12.75

Difference in interest accrued = $14.94 - $12.75 = $2.19


Part 2:

The present value of an annuity is given by:

PV= \frac{P\left[1-\left(1+ \frac{r}{12} \right)^{-12n}\right]}{ \frac{r}{12} }

Where PV is the amount to be repaid, P is the equal monthly payment, r is the annual interest rate and n is the number of years.

Thus,

2348.62= \frac{600\left[1-\left(1+ \frac{0.0875}{12}\right)^{-12n}\right]}{\frac{0.0875}{12}}  \\  \\ \Rightarrow 1-(1+0.007292)^{-12n}= \frac{2348.62\times0.0875}{12\times600} =0.028542 \\  \\ \Rightarrow(1.007292)^{-12n}=1-0.028542=0.971458 \\  \\ \Rightarrow \log(1.007292)^{-12n}=\log0.971458 \\  \\ \Rightarrow-12n\log1.007292=\log0.971458 \\  \\ \Rightarrow-12n= \frac{\log0.971458}{\log1.007292} =-3.985559 \\  \\ \Rightarrow n= \frac{-3.985559}{-12} =0.332130

Therefore, the number of months it will take to pay of the debt is 3.99 months which is approximately 4 months.

the following equation represents the total distance (d) that the Benson family has traveled from their home, after traveling 10
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

The distance the Bensons had traveled from their home 3\frac{1}{2} hours after picking up their grand parents  292.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation for the distance the Benson family traveled from their home can be presented as follows;

d = 55·t + 100

Where;

d = The total distance that the Benson family has traveled from their home after traveling 100 miles to pick up their grandparents

t = The time duration the Benson family have been traveled from their grandparents home on the way to their vacation

To find how far from their home the Bensons will be after 3 1/2 hours of driving with their grand parents, we substitute t with 3 1/2 hours or 3.5 hours as follows;

d = 55·t + 100

When t = 3\frac{1}{2} hours, we get;

d = 55 \times 3\frac{1}{2} + 100 = 292.5  \ miles

Therefore, the distance the Bensons had traveled from their home 3\frac{1}{2} hours after picking up their grand parents = 292.5 miles.
