To calculate amount accrued after a given period of time we use the compound interest formula: A= P(1+r/100)∧n where A i the amount, P is the principal amount, r is the rate of interest and n is the interest period.
In the first part; A= $ 675.54, r= 1.25% (compounded semi-annually) and n =22 ( 11 years ),  hence, 675.54 = P( 1.0125)∧22
   = 675.54= 1.314P
 P= $ 514.109 , therefore the principal amount was $ 514 (to nearest dollar)
Part 2
principal amount (p)= $ 541, rate (r) = 1.2 % (compounded twice a year thus rate for one half will be 2.4/2) and the interest period (n)= 34 (17 years×2)
Amount= 541 (1.012)∧34
             = 541 ×1.5
             = $ 811.5
Therefore, the account balance after $ 811.5.

1. 232 is 8 times the sum of Mark's and his sister's ages. His sister is 21. Find Mark's age.
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

a. 8 years

b. $49.20

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. The mark age is

Given that

232 is 8 times of the sum of mark and his sister ages

And, his sister is 21

So,

Let us assume the mark age be x

now

8(x + 21) = 232

x + 21 = 29

x = 29 -21

x = 8

b. The original price of the socks is

As each pair get $3 off

And she bought 6 pairs for $31.20

= $31.20 + 6 × $3

= $31.20 + 18

= $49.20

Evaluate.<br> 21 + } + (-)) -<br> Enter your answer as a mixed number in simplest form in the box.
andrew-mc [135]

Evaluate: 2(1/4) + 2/5 ÷ (-1/2) - 1/4

⇛9/4 + 2/5 ÷ (-1/2) - 1/4

Take the LCM of the 4 and 5 is 20.

Again, 2 and 4 is 4.

⇛[(54+8)/20] ÷ [(-2 - 1)/4]

⇛62/20 ÷ (-3/4)

⇛62/20 × 4/-3

⇛62/{5*(-3)}

⇛62/-15.

A semicircle is inscribed in an isosceles triangle with base 16 and height 15 so that the
ira [324]

Answer:

  7 1/17

Step-by-step explanation:

A figure can be helpful.

The inscribed semicircle has its center at the midpoint of th base. It is tangent to the side of the isosceles triangle, so a radius makes a 90° angle there.

The long side of the isosceles triangle can be found from the Pythagorean theorem to be ...

  BC² = BD² +CD²

  BC² = 8² +15² = 289

  BC = √289 = 17

The radius mentioned (DE) creates right triangles that are similar to ∆BCD. In particular, we have ...

  (long side)/(hypotenuse) = DE/BD = CD/BC

  DE = BD·CD/BC = 8·15/17

  DE = 7 1/17 ≈ 7.059

ivanzaharov [21]
Yes becaus any even numbers can be represented as 2n where n is an integer
