Answer:
In the account that paid 6% Susan invest 
In the account that paid 5% Susan invest 
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The simple interest formula is equal to
where
I is the Final Interest Value
P is the Principal amount of money to be invested
r is the rate of interest
t is Number of Time Periods
Part a) account that paid 6% simple interest per year
in this problem we have
substitute in the formula above
Part b) account that paid 5% simple interest per year
in this problem we have
substitute in the formula above
we know that

substitute and solve for x




therefore
In the account that paid 6% Susan invest 
In the account that paid 5% Susan invest 
107.2×.26= 27.87 gallons
107.2 liters, .26 gallons per liter
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Your exponential formula is in the form y = ab^x. In this form, the coefficient 'a' is the initial value, the y-intercept, the value when x=0. The value 'b' is the growth factor, which is 1 more than the growth rate per increment of x. This problem is asking for the growth rate to be expressed as a percentage.
__
Given p(x) = 78500(1.02^x), we can compare to the exponential function form to see that ...
- a = 78,500
- b = 1.02 = 1 +0.02 = 1 +2%
The value of x is zero in the year 2000, so the population that year is ...
p(0) = a = 78,500
The increase per year is the value of 'b' with 1 subtracted:
growth rate = 2% per year
