Answer:

$4793.12

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step in working out the amount after 15 years is to convert the percentage of 6% to a decimal. You can do this by dividing 6 by 100, this gives you 0.06. This is because a percentage is out of 100.

The next step is to add 1 to the value of 0.06, this gives you 1.06. You would add 1 as you are working out a percentage increase.

The final step is to multiply the amount of $2000 by the value of 1.06 to the power of 15, this gives you 4793.12 (rounded to 2 decimal places). This is because we are working out the percentage of $2000 and then adding that on to be recaluclated  with the new amount.

1) Divide 6 by 100.

6/100=0.06

2) Add 1 to 0.06.

1+0.06=1.06

3) Multiply 2000 by 1.06 to the power of 15.

2000*1.06^{15}=4793.12

labwork [276]

Answer:

We will choose option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Milton took out a loan for $2400 at 7% interest compounded annually.

So, after one year his loan will grow up to 2400(1 + \frac{7}{100} )^{1} = 2568 dollars.

Therefore, the interest added to the principal is $(2568 - 2400) = $168

But Milton makes yearly payment of $140 which is less than the interest i.e. $168 which is added to his loan in the first year.

Therefore, he can not ever pay off the loan.  

So, we will choose option D. (Answer)

Jane sells 8 times as many Volvos as Melissa. If the difference in their sales is 35, how many cars did Jane sell?
Usimov [2.4K]
Here we have 2 variables we need to calculate:
x - how many Volvos Jane sold
y - how many Volvos Melissa sold

We write system of equations:
x = 8*y
x - y = 35
------------
8y - y = 35
7y = 35
y = 5
x = 8*5 = 40

Jane sold 40 cars.
