Formula for amount for compound interest:
Amount, A = P(1 + r/100)^n
Where r is rate, P is principal, and n is the number of years.
P = 2000, r = 5, n = t years.
A = 2000( 1 + 5/100)^t
A = 200(1+0.05)^t
A = 2000(1.05)^t
A(t) = 2000(1.05)^t
A very simple example problem to satisfy the required above is,
"John has 8 apples and 17 oranges. How much more oranges does John has than apple?"
To answer this item, one needs to subtract the number of apples from the number of oranges. This is as shown below,
D = 17 - 8 = 9
The concept of "how much more than" is linked to finding the difference between the numbers.
Answer:
4, 6, 1
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this problem using a system of equations:
1) a + b + c = 11
2) 2a + 5b + 6c = 44
3) 4a - b = 10
First, we can substitute the value of b from equation #3 into equation #1:
b = 4a - 10
a + (4a - 10) + c = 11
5a - 10 + c = 11
5a + c = 21
c = 21 - 5a
Now, we can plug the values of b and c into equation #2, as b and c are represented in terms of a:
2a + 5(4a - 10) + 6(21 - 5a) = 44
2a + 20a - 50 + 126 - 30a = 44
-8a + 76 = 44
-8a = -32
a = 4
b = 4a - 10 = 4(4) - 10 = 6
c = 21 - 5a = 21 - 5(4) = 1
5.7 is your answer
Hope this helps.
True,
4a - 3b
4(6) - 3(1)
24 - 3 = 21
