X+y=385
x-y=93
y=385-x
x-(385-x)=93
x-385+x=93
2x-385=93
2x=478
x=239
y=239-93
y=146

Ashley deposits $1000 into an account that earns 4% interest compounded 2 times per year. how much money will Ashley have in her

loris [4]

The equation for compound interest is $A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$ , where:
P is the original deposit (or "principal")
r is the rate of the interest (in decimal form)
n is the number of times per year that the interest is compounded
t is the time passed in years

Plugging in your values, we see that the equation becomes $A=1000(1+\frac{.04}{2})^{(2)(5)}=1000(1.02)^{10}$

which equals, to the nearest cent, $1218.99, which is answer C.

Jim has received scores of 72 72 and 77 77 on his first two 100 point tests. what score must he get on his third 100 point test

Alisiya [41]

77+72=149
149/2=74.5
through the process of elimination, I found that Jim needs to get an 88 or higher to receive an average of 79 or greater.

77+72+88=237
237/3=79

Paige works at a department store and has a commission rate of 3 percent. Her sales for the quarter were $4,596. If she earns $5

vagabundo [1.1K]

If she gets 3% of what she sells you multiply the decimal form of the percent by the amount she has made:
50*.03=1.5
So she make $1.50 for every $50 of sales, so you multiply the amount she made by her commission each day by the number of days she worked:
1.5*30=45

She earned a total of $45<span />
