Answer:

Brionny invested £8400.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple Interest

This is a simple interest problem.

The simple interest formula is given by:

E = P*I*t

In which E is the amount of interest earned, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly, as a decimal) and t is the time.

After t years, the total amount of money is:

T = E + P

In this question:

We divide in two intervals, the first year and the second year. We have to know that the amount after the end of the first year is the principal at the start of the second year.

First year:

Amount of 2% interest, during 1 year.

So the interest earned is:

E = P*I*t = P*0.02*1 = 0.02P

The total amount at the end of the first year is:

T = E + P = 0.02P + P = 1.02P

Second year:

We have that:

P = 1.02P

The interest earned is of:

E = P*I*t = 1.02P*0.01*1 = 0.0102P

The total amount is:

T = E + P = 0.0102P + 1.02P = 1.0302P

After two years, the investment is worth £8653.68 How much did Briony invest?

So

1.0302P = 8653.68

P = \frac{8653.68}{1.0302}

P = 8400

Brionny invested £8400.

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

The balance of account at the end of 36 years is $31,849.29

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

P = $3,300

r = 6.5% = 0.065

t = 36 years

The compound interest is given by:

A = p\bigg(1+\dfrac{r}{n}\bigg)^{nt}

where A is the amount, p is the principal, r is the interest rate, t is the time in years and n is the nature of compound interest.

Since interest is compounded annualy we use n = 1

A = 3300\bigg(1+\dfrac{0.065}{1}\bigg)^{36}\\\\A = \$31,849.29

Thus, balance of account at the end of 36 years is $31,849.29

a rental car agency charges 190 per a week plus .25 per mile to rent a car. How many miles can you travel in one week for 370
alekssr [168]

Let m represent the number of miles traveled. If the whole budget amount of 370 is spent, then ...

... 190 + 0.25m = 370

... 0.25m = 280

... m = 280/0.25 = 1120

For 370, you can travel 1120 miles.
