Kulay, there is no such thing as a "step by step answer" here. You seem to want a "step by step solution."
I must assume that by 4/5 you actually meant (4/5) and that by 2/3 you meant (2/3). Then your equation becomes:
(4/5)w - 12 = (2/3)w.
The LCD here is 5*3, or 15, so mult. every term by 15:
12w - 180 = 10w.
Add 180 to both sides, obtaining 12 w - 180 + 180 = 10w + 180.
Then 12w = 10w + 180. Simplifying, 2w = 180. What is w?
Compound interest
P(1+rate/100)^years
However, this questions would be easier using simple interest with calculations here.
First year — $35000x102% = $35700
Second year — $35700x102% = $36414
Third year — $36414x102% = $37142.28
Note : don’t include the dollar sign.
Lololololol. I long since forgot how to do this. rip
