Answer:
It will take an interest rate of 8.1% to get 150% of the initial investment in just 5 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the formula for continuous compounding

where r stands for the (annual) interest rate, t for time in years, P for the initial principal (investment) and X is the amount after t years.
(this formula can be beautifully derived from just basic considerations, btw)
We are given t=5, and percent increase on the initial P, so we can solve for r

It will take an interest rate of 8.1% to get 150% of the initial investment in just 5 years.
Number of people < (should be smaller than or equal to but I don't have that button on my keyboard) (100-7) / 15.50
103/15.50 = 6.64516...
You can't have .645 of a person, so you must round down. Therefore, she can bring 6 people including herself.
Answer:
The percentage that the coat was reduced is 25%.
Step-by-step explanation:
A percentage is always out of a factor of 100.
40 x 2.5 = 100
30 x 2.5 = 75
75/100 = 3/4
1/4 is missing, which is the percentage.
1/4 = 0.25, or 25%
Hope This Helps!
U can see the answer in the picture below
26^2 = 18.8^2 + H^2
H^2 = 322.56
H = 17.96 inches
