If 20 pencils are sharpened, and there was 36 to begin with, the answer would be 4:5
Answer:
$607.75
Step-by-step explanation:
As a first approximation, compound interest will be slightly higher than simple interest for a relatively short time period. Here simple interest at 5% for 4 years will add 4×5% = 20% to the value, adding about $100 to the initial $500 value. That is, we expect the value in 4 years to be slightly more than $600.
The appropriate answer choice is $607.75.
_____
The actual amount can be calculated using the multiplier 1.05 for each of the 4 years, or 1.05^4 ≈ 1.21550625 for the entire period. Then the predicted item value is ...
$500 × 1.21550625 = $607.753125 ≈ $607.75
Answer:
Convert each fraction to its percentage form:
= 36 / 40
= 90%
= 1/3
= 33.3%
= 70/100
= 70%
= 1 / 8
= 12.5%
Looking at the percentages:
= 36 / 40 is closest to 1.
= 1/3 <u>and</u> 70/100 are closest to one half which is 50%
= 1/8 is closest to 0.
Answer:
87
Explanation:
This is an arithmetic sequence with <u>common difference</u>: 7 and <u>first term</u>: 17
Arithmetic sequence:
a + (n - 1)d where n is term position, d is difference, a is first term
17 + (n - 1)7
7n + 10
The eleventh term:
7n + 10
7(11) + 10
77 + 10
87
