George shouldn't think too far.
He should use the formula for Compound Interest.
Amount in compound interest, A = P(1+ r/100)ⁿ.
Where A = Amount, P = Principal, r is the rate per year, n = number of years.
Note: the expression (1+ r/100) is raised to power n.
From George's problem: P = 750, r = 22, I guess number of years , n = x
A(x) = 750( 1 + 22/100)ˣ
A(x) = 750( 1 + 0.22)ˣ
From your options I can't see an answer. Except the expression of option (A) is actually raised to power x, and not times x as stated in the option.
-81=3(5-4r)
27=-(5-4r)
27=-5+4r
-4r=-5-27
-4r=-32
r=8
Hope my answer helped u :)
The answer is actually e although it would have been a
Each friend including her will get the grand total of 1/4 of taffy.
or if its just her fiends that get the taffy they will each get 1/3 of the taffy.
