9514 1404 393

Answer:

  $129,992

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of a geometric series is given by ...

  Sn = a1·(r^n -1)/(r -1)

Here, the first term is 24000, and the growth factor r is 1+4% = 1.04. The sum is then ...

  S5 = 24000·(1.04^5 -1)/(1.04 -1) ≈ 129992

The total earned over 5 years was $129,992.

___

A spreadsheet can list the annual salaries and add them up. The salary each year is 1.04 times that of the previous year. That is shown in the attachment.

19. Subtract: 5 - 3 1/3 <br><br> A. 3 1/3<br> B. 2 1/3<br> C. 1 2/3<br> D. 2 2/3
earnstyle [38]
Answer:

C. 1 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

5 - 3 1/3

We can also convert 5 into a fraction with the same denominator like this:

Since we’re trying to make 5 a fraction with a denominator of 3, leave 4 as the whole number and 3/3 as the fraction

4 3/3

4 3/3 = 5 because 3/3 = 1 and 4 + 1 = 5

Now we can subtract!

4 3/3 - 3 1/3 = 1 2/3

Step 1. Subtract the whole numbers

Step 2. Subtract the numerator

Step 3. Leave the answer with the same denominator

vekshin1
<span>L the length     W the width 

The length of a rectangle is 5 more than twice the width</span>
L = 5+ 2W

<span>the perimeter is equal the sum of sides =130
</span>
L+L+W+W =130

by subtitution we replace L by <span>L = 5+ 2W

</span>5+ 2W+<span>5+ 2W +W+W = 130
</span>
6W= 120

w= 20              <span>L = 5+ 2W= 5+ 40=45</span>
