Answer:

So she can predict that she will be 39 out of 40 times she will be on time.

Step-by-step explanation:

The light rail service claims that it on time 98% of the time .

Given the girl takes light rail service 40 times per month .

Assuming the statement given by the light rail serve is correct 98% of 40 times the girl reaches on time , which is 39 times.

So she can assume that she will be 39 out of 40 times she will be on time.

No the light rails is not accurate if she was late 6 times out of 40 times in a month. Because  by the statement given by light rail service she can miss a maximum of 1 time .

Aryana wants to invest $43,000. She has two options. Option A gives her 6% compounded quarterly. Option B gives her 6% simple in
solmaris [256]

Answer:

Option A earns higher interest($84115.58)

the difference in interest between the two option is  $197.9

Step-by-step explanation:

 In the problem we are going to apply both the simple interest formula and compound interest formula and compare which has the best/higher returns

Given data

Principal P= $43,000

Rate r= 6%= 0.06

time t= 3years

n= 4 (applicable for compound interest compounded quarterly)

solving for option A gives her 6% compounded quarterly

the compound interest formula is

A= P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^n^t\\A= 43000(1+\frac{0.06}{4} )^{4} ^*^3

A=43000(1+0.015)^{12} \\A=43000(1.015)^{12} \\A=43000*1.1956\\A= 51411.58

Interest is A-P= 51411.58-43000= 8411.58=$8411.58

solving for option B  which gives her 6% simple interest annually

the simple interest formula is

A=P(1+r)^{t} \\A=43000(1+0.06)^3\\A=43000(1.06)^3\\A=43000*1.191\\A= 51213.68

Interest isA-P=51213.68-43000= 8213.68= $8213.68

calculating the diference in interest between the two options we have

8411.58-8213.68= 197.9= $197.9

Option A earns higher interest

It takes Santa 5 minutes to fly 35 miles with the wind .It takes him 7 minutes to fly 35 miles against the wind determine the sp
Dmitrij [34]

Answer: Santa's speed in still air is 6 miles per minute

Speed of the wind is 1 mile per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of Santa in still air. It is assumed that in still air. She is flying with the wind. If the speed of the wind is y, then him total speed is x + y

It takes Santa 5 minutes to fly 35 miles with the wind.

Speed = distance / time

It means that

x + y = 35/5 = 7

It takes him 7 minutes to fly 35 miles against the wind. This means that his total speed will be x - y

Speed = distance/time. Therefore,

x - y = 35 /5 = 5 - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 7 - y into equation 1, it becomes

7 - y - y = 5

-2y = 5 - 7 = -2

y = -2/-2 = 1

x = 7 - y = 7 - 1

x = 6
