Answer: it will take 17.33 years to double.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for continuously compounded interest is

A = P x e^(r x t)

Where

A represents the future value of the investment after t years.

P represents the present value or initial amount invested

r represents the interest rate

t represents the time in years for which the investment was made.

e is the mathematical constant approximated as 2.7183.

From the information given,

P = 425

A = 2 × 425 = 850

r = 4% = 4/100 = 0.04

Therefore,

850 = 425 x 2.7183^(0.04 x t)

850/425 = 2.7183^(0.04t)

2 = 2.7183^(0.04t)

Taking ln of both sides, it becomes

Ln 2 = 0.04t ln 2.7183

0.693 = 0.04t

t = 0.693/0.04

t = 17.325

Drupady [299]

Answer:

150 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Tickets sold at four different gates

           Gate B sold 26 % tickets

           Tickets sold at Gate B = 39

Let take x as total number of tickets sold at all four gates.

Now, using the value of gate B to find total number of tickets

∴ 26\% \times total\ ticket\ sold = 39

⇒ \frac{26}{100} \times x = 39

Next, cross multiply both side

⇒ x= \frac{39\times 100}{26} = 150\ tickets

∴ Total tickets sold at all the four gates is 150

Work must be shown for this problem! The figure shown below is a rectangle. Give the angle value (numerical, not the letters).
Sophie [7]

Answer:

58 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

In a rectangle, the two diagonals form four isosceles triangles. This means triangle EBC is isosceles. In an isosceles triangle, the two base angles are the same. So, angles EBC and BCE are both 61. Now, in a triangle, the three angles add up to 180. So, 61+61=122, and to find angle CEB you need to subtract 180-122. 180-122=58 degrees.
