Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Mary's age = x years

John's age = 2 * x = 2x

The sum of their ages = 21

x + 2x = 21

3x = 21

Divide both sides by 3

x = 21/3

x = 7

Mary's age = 7 years

A=130(1.05)^x by what percent does the balence increase each year?
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

5%

Step-by-step explanation:

The question showing a growing function that commonly used in compound interest calculation. The formula for compound interest is:

A = P (1 +r) ^ t

A= amount of the balance after a period of t

P= principal, the initial money deposit

r= rate

t= time

The percent of balance increase should be represented by the rate(r). In this equation, the principal will be 130, (1+r) will be 1.05, and time will be x.

The value of rate (r) will be:

(1+r) = 1.05

r= 1.05-1= 0.05 = 5%
