Answer:

a) $3480

b) $4036.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound interest formula is given by:

A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}

Where A(t) is the amount of money after t years, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year and t is the time in years for which the money is invested or borrowed.

Suppose that $3000 is placed in an account that pays 16% interest compounded each year.

This means, respectively, that P = 3000, r = 0.16, n = 1

So

A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}

A(t) = 3000(1 + \frac{0.16}{1})^{t}

A(t) = 3000(1.16)^{t}

(a) Find the amount in the account at the end of 1 year.

This is A(1).

A(t) = 3000(1.16)^{t}

A(1) = 3000(1.16)^{1} = 3480

(b) Find the amount in the account at the end of 2 years.

This is A(2).

A(2) = 3000(1.16)^{2} = 4036.8

If I have 150,000 crystals, and ONE costume cost 4,000 crystals, how many costumes can I buy total?
MArishka [77]
Okay, think of it this way: 

You have to find how many times 4,000 goes into 150,000. 

This will tell you how many costumes you can buy.

To make this easier, we can divide 4 by 150. (this is proportional to 4,000 and 150,000 since we took 3 zeros from each number; you will get the same answer) 

150/4= 37.5 

You can buy 37 whole costumes.

Hope this helped!

A = lw + πr²
A = (125)(56) + (3.14)(28)²
A = 7000 + 3.14(784)
A = 7000 + 2461.76
A = 9461.76 yd²
