What’s the question? I don’t have enough info.
Student P:
They messed up in step 1 because they made the 7.75 positive instead of negative, which causes the entire solution to be wrong
Student Q:
They were correct up until step 3. They didn't take all the negatives out of the equation (ex. -(3.5+7.75+29.67)).
Complete set:
From the picture, it looks like the original problem was
-2.5(1.4+3.1)+6.9(-4.3)
Step 1: multiply
1.4(-2.5)+3.1(-2.5)+6.9(-4.3)
Step 2: subtract (add?) them all together
-3.5-7.75-29.67
Step 3 should equal -40.92
Bank balance after 15 years is $950
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Find the simple interest on the principal amount using the formula SI = PRT/100 where Principal (P) = $500, Rate of Interest (R) = 6% and Time(T) = 15 years
⇒ SI = 500 × 6 × 15/100 = $450
- Step 2: Find total amount using the formula Amount = P + SI
⇒ Amount = 500 + 450 = $950
