Answer:

18.44%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Percentage who rode bus to work last year = x

Percentage who ride bus to work this year = 27.1%

Percentage who ride bus to work this year = [percentage who rode bus to work last year + 47% of percentage who rode bus to work last year]

Mathematically ;

27.1% = x + 47% of x

0.271 = x + (0.47x)

0.271 = x + 0.47x

0.271 = 1.47x

x = 0.271 / 1.47

x = 0.1843537

x = 0.1843537 * 100%

x = 18.435%

x = 18.44%

Suppose that $2000 is invested at a rate of 2.6% , compounded semiannually. Assuming that no withdrawals are made, find the tota
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

$2,589.52

Step-by-step explanation:

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

We start with the compound interest formula above, where

A = future value

P = principal amount invested

r = annual rate of interest written as a decimal

n = number of times interest is compound per year

t = number of years

For this problem, we have

P = 2000

r = 0.026

n = 2

t = 10,

and we find A.

A = $2000(1 + \dfrac{0.026}{2})^{2 \times 10}

A = $2589.52
