Since we’ve been given a ratio, 3:8, we can convert that into a fraction and form an equation from it:

\frac{3}{8} = \frac{27/3}{?}

The reason the numerator on the second fraction is 27/3 is because the team scored 27 points, not 27 baskets.

Simplify (Also replace the ? with an unknown variable):

\frac{3}{8} = \frac{9}{n}

Cross multiply:

3*n = 9*8

Simplify:

3n = 72

Divide both sides by 3:

n = 24

The team had 33 three point tries, 9 successes, and 24 fails.

y=$

y=200(1.003)^12x

3.6%->.036/12 (compounded monthly)

=0.003+1

y=200(1.003)^12(1) (1 year)

=$207.31999

200•12 ($200 deposited every month)

=$2400

2400+207.3199=
