Answer:
{7, 8, 9, 10}
Step-by-step explanation:
Having worked 4 hours babysitting, Zoé has already earned 4×$7 = $28, so only needs to earn $130 -28 = $102 more.
At $15 per hour, it takes her $102/$15 = 6.8 hours to earn that amount. In order to keep her total hours to a maximum of 14, Zoé cannot work any table-clearing hours more than 14 -4 = 10. The possible solutions for Zoé's hours doing table clearing are ...
{7, 8, 9, 10} . . . . hours
_____
We have assumed Zoé must work whole numbers of hours.
A) $3500*0.055 = $192.50 . . . . the interest paid each year
B) The problem makes no mention of compounding, so we assume simple interest is paid. (Most accounts do not work this way.)
.. at the end of 1 year, 3500 +192.50 = $3692.50
.. at the end of year 2, 3692.50 +192.50 = $3885.00
.. at the end of year 3, 3885.00 +192.50 = $4077.50
.. at the end of year 4, 4077.50 +192.50 = $4270.00
.. at the end of year 5, 4270.00 +192.50 = $4462.50
1/8 into a decimal is 0.125.
