3/4 is the correct answer
Answer:
- the largest number that cannot be made is 23
- see below for an explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Why numbers greater than 23 can be made</em>
From any number that Larry can make that includes an appropriate number of stamps, Larry can ...
- add 1 by adding 1×9 and taking away 2×4
- add 2 by adding 2×9 and taking away 4×4
- add 3 by adding 3×9 and taking away 6×4
- add 4 by adding 1×4
- add 5 by adding 4 and 1 (add 9, take away 4)
- add 6 by adding 4 and 2 (add 2×9, take away 3×4)
- add 7 by adding 4 and 3 (add 3×9, take away 5×4)
- add 8 by adding 2×4
- add 9 by adding 1×9
Clearly, for Larry to be able to continue adding any number, he must start with a number that contains at least 6×4 cents = 24 cents.
Larry can make 24 cents from 6 4-cent stamps. Using the above table, he can add any amount to that.
___
<em>Why 23 cannot be made</em>
For 23 cents, the number of stamps must include 0, 1, or 2 9-cent stamps, so there are 3 cases to try for making 23:
- 23 cannot be made from 0 9-cent stamps because 23 is not divisible by 4
- 23 cannot be made using 1 9-cent stamp, because 14 is not divisible by 4
- 23 cannot be made using 2 9-cent stamps, because 5 is not divisible by 4.
Therefore, 23 cannot be made.

Answer:
Exponential Function: 
Balance after
t=1 $ 13,524.32
t=2 $ 14,374.99
t=5 $ 17,261.69
t=10 $ 23,417.64
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula used to find amount in the account after time t, given the interest rate is compounded continuously
where: P= principal amount or amount invested
r= interest rate
t= time
A= amount after time t
in our question we are given:
P=$12,724
r= 6.1% or 0.061
The above equation is exponential function that describes the amount in the account after time t in years
Now, for t = 1
A= $ 13,524.32
t=2
A= $ 14,374.99
t= 5
A= $ 17,261.69
t=10
A= $ 23,417.64
