<h3>The number of beads lina has is 31</h3><h3>
Laura made a mistake by adding the constant 7 and variable 4b</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
Laura wrote and solved the following expression to find the total number of beads Lina has
There are 6 beads in each packet
7+4b = 11b
= 11(6)
=66
From given,
Lina has a total of 7 + 4b beads
Given that, There are 6 beads in each packet
Substitute b = 6
7 + 4(6)
Simplify
7 + 24
Add
31
Thus, she has a total of 31 beads and not 66 beads
Laura made a mistake by adding the constant 7 and variable 4b
But a constant and variable cannot be added
Using the formula of P(1 + r)^n = x where p represents the initial value, r represents the rate and n represents the number of years and x is our final output. We want to find P so we have to make it the subject of the equation.
1 + 0.04 = 1.04
1.04^18 = 2.025816515
Then divide the total amount by this to get 185,110.5454
Therefore the answer is $185,110.55
Hope this helps! :)
