Answer:

$1500

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Investment 1 = $3000
  • Interest 1 = 4%
  • Investment 2 = x
  • Interest 2 = 5.5%
  • Total interest = 4.5%

<u>Total interest:</u>

  • 3000*0.04 + x*0.055 = (3000+ x)*0.045    ⇒ multiply by 100 both sides
  • 3000*4 + 5.5x = 3000*4.5 + 4.5x                ⇒ parenthesis
  • 5.5x - 4.5x = 3000(4.5-4)                             ⇒ collect like terms
  • x = 3000*0.5                                                ⇒ simplify
  • x = 1500                                                        ⇒ answer

Additional money is $1500

vova2212 [387]
Plug in (4,64) into each answer choice.

A) 4(2)^x
64 =4(2)^4 
64 = 4(16) 
64 = 64

Answer choice A is correct.

B) f(x) = 2(4)^x
64 = 2(4)^4
64 = 2(256)
64 ≠ 512

Answer choice B is incorrect.

C) f(x) = 4(2)^{-x}
64 = 4(2)^{-4}
64 = 4(-0.0625)
64 ≠ 0.25

Answer choice C is incorrect.

D) f(x) = 2(4)^{-x}
64 = 2(4)^{-4}
64 = 2(0.00390625)
64 ≠ 0.0078125

Last year, Kaitlin opened an investment account with $8600. At the end of the year, the amount in the account had decreased by 2
musickatia [10]

Answer:

Kaitlin's account will have 72% of the money initially invested, that is, about $ 6,192.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that last year Kaitlin opened an investment account with $ 8,600, and at the end of the year, the amount in the account had decreased by 28%, to determine the year-end amount in terms of the original amount both in whole numbers and in decimals, the following calculation must be performed:

100 - 28 = 72

8,600 x 0.72 = X

6.192 = X

Thus, Kaitlin's account will have 72% of the money initially invested, that is, about $ 6,192.
