Answer:

12.12%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the formula is given by:

A = p * e ^ (r * t)

From here, we know that A = 200000; p = 20000 and the time we can calculate 40 - 21 = 19

if we replace we have:

200000 = 20000 * e ^ (19 * r)

we must calculate r:

e ^ (19 * r) = 200000/20000

e ^ (19 * r) = 10

19 * r = ln 10

r = ln 10/19

r = 0.1212

In other words, the rate of growth is 12.12%

A water tank is 1/8 full the tank is 3/4 full when 42 gallons are added to the tank how much water was originally in the tank
masha68 [24]
<span>A water tank is 1/8 full. The tank is 3/4 full when 42 gallons are added to the tank. How much water was originally in the tank? (I rewrote it, your wording was messed up)

3/4 = 6/8 
1/8 + 6/8 = 7/8 = 42 gallons
42 divided by 8 = 5 1/4

So, the answer is 5 1/4. The tank originally 5.25 gallons of water.</span>
