Answer:

<u>The cost two years ago = $11.57</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The rest of the question is

what did a pound of gourmet coffee beans cost two years ago?

So, let the cost two years ago = x

The cost has increased 10% per year

so, the cost one year ago = x + 10% of x = x + 0.1 x = 1.1 x

So, the current cost = 1.1 x + 10% of 1.1 x = 1.1 x + 0.1 * 1.1 x = 1.21 x

But given the current cost = $14

∴ 1.21 x = 14

∴ x = 14/1.21 = 11.57

So, <u>the cost two years ago = $11.57</u>

Answer: $2112.40

Step-by-step explanation:

r = 0.02 (2%)

n = 365 (daily for a year)

p = 1950

You wrote the formula wrong too:

B = P x (1+r/n)^nt

t = 4

B = 1950 x 1.08...

B = $2112.40
