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!

How much water do you add...
Alecsey [184]

Answer: 36.67 grams of water is added.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of water is added be 'x'.

Amount of sugar = 5 g

We need to make 12% of sugar syrup.

x grams of water is added to 5 g of sugar, to 12% of sugar syrup.

so, it becomes,

\frac{5}{5+x}=\frac{12}{100}\\\\100\times 5=12(5+x)\\\\500=60+12x\\\\500-60=12x\\\\440=12x\\\\\frac{440}{12}=x\\\\36.67\ g=x

Hence, 36.67 grams of water is added.

If B is the midpoint of AC, AC=CD, AB=3x+4, AC=11x-17, and CE=49, find DE.
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

AB = 3x + 4 and AC which is twice of AB is equal to 11x - 17

2 (3x + 4) = 11x - 17

6x + 8 = 11x - 17

8 + 17 = 11x - 6x

25 = 5x

5 = x

AC = CD = 11x - 17 ➡ 11×5 - 17 = 38

CD = 38 and DE = 49 - 38 = 11
