Answer: Ben will have the most interest.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ali after 3 years.
To use compound interest, the formula is:
= Investment * ( 1 + rate) ^ no. of periods
= 2,000 * ( 1 + 2.5%)³
= £2,153.78
Interest = Amount after 3 years - investment
= 2,153.78 - 2,000
= £153.78
Ben after 3 years.
= 1,600 * (1 + 3.5%)³
= £1,773.95
Interest = 1,773.93 - 1,600
= £173.93
Answer:
x=45
Step-by-step explanation:
add (3x-9)+30+24=180
subtract 30 and 24 from both sides
(3x-9) = 126
+9 on both sides
3x=135
divide by 3 on both sides
x=45
Answer: After 3 hours both will have the same cost.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = Number of hours and y be the total cost.
Total cost = Initial cost + (cost per hour)(Number of hours)
At Mike's Bounce Shop,
Total cost (y)= 30+2x
At Jose's Bounce Rentals,
Total cost(y) = 12+8x
When both shops have the same cost, then

Total cost = 12+8(3)=12+24=$36
Hence, After 3 hours both will have the same cost.
One meter is 3.28 feet, so anything shorter than that. A basketball, maybe a very young child?
