Penny received an unexpected $5,000.00 gift from a distant relative. She invests it in a mutual fund that increases the value of

the original investment by 8% each year. In 15 years, Penny hopes to have $40,000 available to make a down payment on a house. How much would she need to invest right now in order to have enough for her down payment in 15 years?

Answer:

Penny would need to put in ~ $18,181.82

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the equation A = P(1+rt)

Where A = the total

P is equal to the starting amount

r is equal to the rate (percent)

and t is equal to the total time.

We can put in:

A = $40,000

r = 0.08 (8%)

t = 15

40,000 = P(1 +(0.08* 15))\\40,000 = P(1+1.2)\\40,000 = P(2.2)\\\frac{40,000}{2.2} = P\\ \frac{200,000}{11} = P\\P = $18181.8181818181...

Round to the nearest whole cent

P = $18,181.82

Shirts are 5% off. The original price of one shirt is $15. What is the total cost, in dollars, of a shirt at the sale price, inc
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

$15.75

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{y}{15} :\frac{5}{100}

y × 100 = 5 × 15

100y = 75

100y ÷ 100 = 75 ÷ 100

y = 0.75

$15 - $0.75

$14.25

\frac{y}{15} :\frac{10}{100}

y × 100 = 10 × 15

100y = 150

100y ÷ 100 = 150 ÷ 100

y = 1.5

$14.25 + $1.50

$15.75
