Answer: The approximate percent increase is 121.42857%. This is a rounded value. To get this, first you would need to find out which increased and in what direction. Of course, the 70 turned into an 85. So you can divide 85 by 70 and receive a number. Then in whatever form you found it, decimal, fraction, or even percent straight away, ensure the value is a percentage.
70 -> 85
85/70
About 1.21 [decimal]
1.21 x 100 = 121 [add the %]
121% [rounded]
I attached the answer and explanation below
SFF = (r/n)/{(1+r/n)^nt-1} ------- where SFF = Sinking fund factor, r = Annual interest rate, n= number of payments per year, t = number of years
Substituting,
SFF = (0.06/2)/{(1+0.06/2)^2*2 -1} = 0.239
PMT = A*SFF = 58,000*0.239 = $13,863.57 ---- The closest answer is $13,863.74
I think the answer should be B.
Step-by-step explanation:
10 2/3 + 3 1/3 = 10 + 3 + 2/3 + 1/3 = 13 + 3/3 = 13 + 1 = 14
