A principal of $3600 is invested at 7.5% interest, compounded annually. How much will the investment be worth after 6 years?

zaharov [31]

After 6 years the investment is $5555.88

Step-by-step explanation:

A principal of $3600 is invested at 7.5% interest, compounded annually. How much will the investment be worth after 6 years?

The formula used to find future value is:

$A(t)=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

where A(t) = Accumulated amount

P = Principal Amount

r = annual rate

t= time

n= compounding periods per year

We are given:

P = $3600

r = 7.5 %

t = 6

n = 1

Putting values in formula:

$A(t)=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}\\A(t)=3600(1+\frac{0.075}{1})^{6*1}\\A(t)=3600(\frac{1.075}{1})^6\\A(t)=3600(1.075)^6\\A(t)=3600(1.543)\\A(t)=5555.88$

So, After 6 years the investment is $5555.88

A triangle contains angles mesuring 28 degrees and 37 degrees. How many degrees is the third angle?

Orlov [11]

Answer:

115°

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

Angles ∠A and ∠B are 28° and 37°.

We don't know:

Angle ∠C's angle

So, we do this:

Add the 180°
Solve the equation 180 - 28 - 37

Solve:

180 - 28
= 152 - 37
= 115.

Angle ∠C is 115°.

A landscaper needs 348 pounds of plant food. He has 114 pounds in his truck, and another 46 pound at his shop.

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

$\frac{19}{12}\ pounds$

$1\frac{7}{12}\ pounds$

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question is

A landscaper needs 3 4/8 pounds of plant food. He has 1 1/4 pounds in his truck, and another 4/6 pound at his shop. How many more pounds of plant food does the landscaper need?

Let

x ----> the additional pounds of plant food needed for the landscaper

we know that

The additional pounds of plant food needed for the landscaper plus the pounds in his truck plus the pounds in his shop must be equal to the total pounds of plant food needed

The linear equation that represent this problem is

$x+1\frac{1}{4}+\frac{4}{6}=3\frac{4}{8}$

Convert mixed number to an improper fractions

$1\frac{1}{4}=1+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{4*1+1}{4}=\frac{5}{4}$

$3\frac{4}{8}=3+\frac{4}{8}=\frac{3*8+4}{8}=\frac{28}{8}=\frac{14}{4}$

Substitute in the expression above

$x+\frac{5}{4}+\frac{4}{6}=\frac{14}{4}$

solve for x

Multiply by (4*6) both sides to remove the fractions

$24x+30+16=84$

Combine like terms left side

$24x+46=84$

subtract 46 both sides

$24x=84-46$

$24x=38$

Divide by 24 both sides

$x=\frac{38}{24}\ pounds$

simplify

$x=\frac{19}{12}\ pounds$

Convert to mixed number

$\frac{19}{12}\ pounds=\frac{12}{12}+\frac{7}{12}=1\frac{7}{12}\ pounds$
