Answer:

a) $520

b) $580

c) Interest amount is same each year

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - Georgie put $500 in her savings account, earning interest at a rate of 4% each year. She did not make any more deposits or withdrawals.

To find - a) How much money was in the account after one year?

              b) How much money was in the account after 4 years?

              c) Was the amount of money earned in interest the same or different each year?

Proof -

Here given that,

Principal amount = $500

rate of interest = 4% = 4/100 = 0.04

Now,

a)

Amount =  P [ 1 + RT ]

             = 500 [ 1 + 0.04(1)]

             = 500 [ 1 + 0.04] = 520

⇒Amount = $520

b)

Amount =  P [ 1 + RT ]

             = 500 [ 1 + 0.04(4)]

             = 500 [ 1 + 0.16] = 580

⇒Amount = $580

c)

In 2nd year,

Amount =  P [ 1 + RT ]

             = 500 [ 1 + 0.04(2)]

             = 500 [ 1 + 0.08] = 540

⇒Amount = $540

Now,

Interest in 1st year = 520 - 500 = 20

Interest in 2nd year = 540 - 520 = 20

So,

The interest amount  is same each year

Fred works as a gardener. He charges at least $15 to drive to a residence and
Amanda [17]

We are required to find an inequality which best represents the relationship between the number of hours gardening g and the total charge c

The inequality which best represents the relationship between the number of hours gardening g and the total charge c is c ≥ 15 + 12g

At least means greater than or equal to (≥)

fixed charge = $15

charges per hour = $12

Total charge = c

Number of hours = g

The inequality:

<em>Total charge ≥ fixed charge + (charges per hour × Number of hours</em>

c ≥ 15 + (12 × g)

c ≥ 15 + (12g)

c ≥ 15 + 12g

Therefore, the inequality which best represents the relationship between the number of hours gardening g and the total charge c is c ≥ 15 + 12g

An athlete knows that when she jogs along her neighborhood​ greenway, she can complete the route in 10 minutes. It takes 20 minu
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

10 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent athlete's walking speed.

We have been given that her jogging rate is 5 mph faster than her walking​ rate, so athlete's jogging speed would be x+5 miles per hour.

\text{Distance}=\text{Rate}\cdot \text{Time}

10 minutes = 1/6 hour.

20 minutes = 1/3 hour

While walking, we will get D_{\text{walking}}=x\frac{\text{miles}}{\text{hour}}\cdot \frac{1}{3}\text{hour}

D_{\text{walking}}=\frac{x}{3}

While jogging, we will get D_{\text{jogging}}=(x+5)\frac{\text{miles}}{\text{hour}}\cdot \frac{1}{6}\text{hour}

D_{\text{jogging}}= \frac{(x+5)}{6}

Since athlete is covering same distance while walking and jogging, so we can equate both expressions as:

\frac{x}{3}=\frac{x+5}{6}

Cross multiply:

6x=3x+15

6x-3x=15

3x=15

\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{15}{3}\\\\x=5

Therefore, athlete's walking speed is 5 miles per hour.

Jogging speed: x+5\Rightarrow 5+5=10

Therefore, athlete's jogging speed is 10 miles per hour.
