Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's call this number n. Here is the info we can write about it. Remember that to write as a percent as a decimal you divide by 100.

n-0.16n=159.6

We combine like terms.

0.84n=159.6

We divide both sides by 0.84

n=190

Have a wonderful day! :D

$\sin x \cos x = \dfrac{\sqrt 3}{4}$

$2 \sin x \cos x = \dfrac{\sqrt 3}{2}$

$\sin 2x = \sin \frac \pi 3$

$2x = \frac \pi 3 + 2 \pi n \textrm{ or } 2x = (\pi - \frac \pi 3) + 2 \pi n \quad \textrm{integer } n$

$x = \frac \pi 6 + \pi n \textrm{ or } x = \frac \pi 3 + \pi n$

So the equation is A = P(1+rt)
A = 10,000(1+0.07*6)
A = 10,000(1+0.42)
A = 14,200.00
