Answer:
1/9
Step-by-step explanation:
3^-2
Remember that the negative exponent moves it to the denominator
1
---------
3^2
1
-----
9
Following order of operations:
3^2 = 9
(10-2) = 8
Now you have :
9 + 8 x 5 -4
Multiplication is next:
9 + 40 -4
Now just add and subtract from left to right:
9 + 40 = 49
49-4 = 45
The answer is 45
First we will find the interest on:
P = $235 principal
t = 2 years
r = 0.1415 annual rate
A = future value
I = A - P the interest
A = P(1 + r)^t
A = 235(1 + 0.1415)^2
A = $306.21
I = A - P
I = $306.21 - $235
I = $71.21
the interest was $71.21.
Next lets find the lifetime cost value:
Lifetime cost value = 306.21 + 5*1.56*52 + 5*0.78*52 = $914.61 (considering that 1 year = 52 weeks)
Now lets find the percentage what percentage the interest is of the lifetime cost:
(71.21/914.61)*100 = 7.79%
