Answer:
13.86
Step-by-step explanation:
formula for cont. compounding interest is
Amount = Principal * e^rt
in this case the principal is 5000, and the amount is 10000 (double). the rate is 5% or 0.05. and t is what we are solving for.
sub in to get:
10000 = 5000e^0.05t
2 = e^0.05t
now convert to log form.
ln 2 = 0.05t
ln 2 / 0.05 = t
punch that into your calculator and you get 13.86 years
The best thing to do is to find what 1% is, and you can do this by dividing 150 by 100.
150/100= 1.5
As you're looking for 6.5%, you've got to multiply 1.5 by 6.5
1.5*6.5= 9.75
You've then got to add 9.75 and 150 together
150+9.75= $159.75
Therefore, after the sales tax, the cost of the necklace is $159.75
Hope this helps :)
