Answer:
To be honest i dont even know
Step-by-step explanation:
ummmm
A gardener has 8 pounds of fertilizer. He packs the fertilizer into 5/8 pound bags. What is the maximum number of 5/8 pound bags he can pack?
so first you multiply 8 pounds times 5 from 5/8 which is 40/8 pounds bags
now how many 8s can fit in 40
40 divided by 8 =5
so he can pack 5 maximum bags
The first year, the amount is 40,000
the second year is 40000 + 4.2% of 40000, or 0.042 * 4000, so 40000+(0.042*4000)
common factoring that we get 40000(1 + 0.042), or just 40000(1.042)
in short, the starting amount is 40000, and to get the next term's value you'd use the "common ratio" of 1.042, namely the multiplier of 1.042.
for the third year it'll be 40000(1.042) + (0.042 *
40000(1.042) ), again, common factoring that
40000(1.042)(1 + 0.042) or 40000(1.042)(1.042) or 40000(1.042)²
therefore,
