With 5lbs of sugar syrup to get a 25% syrup you would need to add 15lbs of water
To find how much the temperature fell we must find the difference of both numbers and to do this we subtract them;
20 - (-5) = 25 degrees
Here is the formula you'll need
Total = Principal * (1 + (rate/n))^n*years
I don't know how to solve that for "n" so we'll use trial and error.
If compounded annually, total =
<span>
<span>
<span>
10,841.24
</span>
</span>
</span>
If compounded quarterly, total =
<span>
<span>
<span>
10,955.64
</span>
</span></span><span>If compounded monthly, total =
</span>
<span>
<span>
<span>
10,981.82
</span>
</span>
</span>
If compounded daily, total =
<span>
<span>
<span>
10,994.58
</span>
</span>
</span>
Therefore the answer is "A", daily.
