Answer:

The total amount received is: $1906650

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a = \$57000 --- initial

b = 1\% --- rate

n = 29 --- time

Required

Determine the total amount at the end of 29 years

The given question is an illustration of geometric progression, and we are to solve for the sum of the first n terms

Where n = 29

r = 1 + b

r = 1 + 1\%

Express percentage as decimal

r = 1 + 0.01

r = 1.01

The required is the calculated using:

S_n = \frac{a(r^n - 1)}{r - 1}

So, we have:

S_n = \frac{57000 * (1.01^{29} - 1)}{1.01 - 1}

S_n = \frac{57000 * (1.3345- 1)}{0.01}

S_n = \frac{57000 * 0.3345}{0.01}

S_n = \frac{19066.5}{0.01}

S_n = 1906650

<em>The total amount received is: $1906650</em>

Tom [10]

Answer:

I found the table by an online search (it is below)

Sally has $7 to spend in candy.

The price of a chocolate bar is $1.50

The price of a lollipop is $0.75

The price of gumballs is $0.25

In the table, we have the following combinations.

a) 3 chocolate bars, 3 lollipops and 4 gumballs, the price is:

3*$1.50 + 3*$0.75 + 4*$0.25 = $7.75 (she can not buy this)

b) 3 chocolate bars and 4 gumballs, the price is:

3*$1.50 + 4*$0.25 = $5.50 (she can buy this)

c) 1 chocolate bar, 5 lollipops and 2 gumballs, the price is:

1*$1.50 + 5*$0.75 + 2*$0.25 =  $5.75 (she can buy this)

d) 2 chocolate bars, 2 lollipops and 8 gumballs, the price is:

2*$1.50 + 2*$0.75 + 8*$0.25 = $6.50 (she can buy this)
