Let the numbers = x, x+1, x+2
It is given that, x + x+1 + x+2 = 84
3x + 3 = 84
3x = 84 - 3
3x = 81
x = 81/3
x = 27
Largest number, x+2 = 27+2 = 29

In short, Your Answer would be 29

Hope this helps!

$7000 is compounded semiannually at a rate of 11% for 21years Find the total amount and round to the nearest cent

photoshop1234 [79]

$\text{Given that }\$7000 \text{ is compounded semiannualy at a rate of }11\% \text{ for 21 years}\\
\\
\text{we know that the amount after t year when compounded is given by}\\
\\
A=P\left ( 1+\frac{r}{n} \right )^{nt}\\
\\
\text{here P is the principal amoount, so }P=7000,\\
\\
\text{r is the interest rate, }r=11\%=0.11\\
\\
\text{n is the number of times in a year, here semiannulay, so }n=2,\\
\\
\text{and t is the time, so }t=21\\
\\
\text{so the amount after 21 years is}$

$A=7000\left ( 1+\frac{0.11}{2} \right )^{2(21)}\\
\\
\Rightarrow A=7000\left ( 1+0.055 \right )^{42}\\
\\
\Rightarrow A=7000\left ( 1.055 \right )^{42}\\
\\
\Rightarrow A\approx 66328.68$

So the amount after 21 years is: $66328.68
