1st year...
500 = 100%
5 = 1% 
2.5 = 1/2% or .5%
So, you have to do 5 x 7 to get 35 which is 7% then you have to tack on the 2.5 to get 7.5%

2nd year...
537.5 = 100%
5.375 = 1%
2.6875 = 1/2% or .5%
So now 5.375 x 7 = 37. 625 + 2.6875 (I will round at the end) = 40.3125
So 37.5 + 40.31 (rounding!) = 77.81 in interest so far.

3rd year...
537.5 + 40.31 = 577.81 = 100%
5.77 = 1%
2.89 (was 2.885 but round up) = 1/2% or .5%
so 5.77 x 7 = 40.39 + 2.89 = 43. 28 = 7.5%
577.81 + 43.28 = 621.09

4th year....
621.09 = 100%
6.21 = 1%
3.11 (was 3.105, but round up)
6.21 x 7 = 43.47 + 3.11 = 46.58
621.09 + 46.58 = 667.67

5th year...
667.67 = 100%
6.68 (round up) = 1%
3.34 = 1/2% or .5%
6.68 x 7 = 46.76 + 3.34 = 50.1
667.67 + 50.1 = 717.77

So as a fact, I will go over next year, so your answer is 6 whole years.

Hope this helped! Hope I'm not wrong!

What is the answer to 9x8 2/3
Ira Lisetskai [31]
The answer is 78. This is because you change 8 2/3 into a improper fraction which is 26/3. Then do 26/3×9/1. You should cross cancel so cancel out 3 and change it into 1 and change 9 into 3. So now your problem is 26×3=78.

What THREE integers have a sum of 300?
quester [9]

Answer:

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 300. We start by assigning X to the first integer. Since they are consecutive, it means that the 2nd number will be X + 1 and the 3rd number will be X + 2 and they should all add up to 300. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 300

To solve for X, you first add the integers together and the X variables together. Then you subtract three from each side, followed by dividing by 3 on each side. Here is the work to show our math:

X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 300

3X + 3 = 300

3X + 3 - 3 = 300 - 3

3X = 297

3X/3 = 297/3

X = 99

Which means that the first number is 99, the second number is 99 + 1 and the third number is 99 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 300 are 99, 100, and 101.

99 + 100 + 101 = 300

We know our answer is correct because 99 + 100 + 101 equals 300 as displayed above.
