The formula for computing compound interest for a principal P that is invested at an annual rate r and compounded annually is gi

ven by A = P(1 + r)n , where A is the accumulated amount in the account after n years.
Let’s try a different approach. Substitute the value of 2 for n and solve this formula for r. Verify that you get the following result:
r = PA −1 (Hint: First solve for (1 + r)2 and then take the square root of both sides of the equation.) Notice that you now have a radical expression to work with. Substitute
$5000 for P and $5600 for A (which is the principal plus $600 in interest) to see what your rate must be. Round your answer to the nearest percent.

Answer:

  • r ≈ 6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for r when n=2, we have ...

  A=P(1+r)^2\\\\\dfrac{A}{P}=(1+r)^2\\\\\sqrt{\dfrac{A}{P}}=1+r\\\\\boxed{r=\sqrt{\dfrac{A}{P}}-1}

For the given values of A and P, the value of r is ...

  r=\sqrt{\dfrac{5600}{5000}}-1=\sqrt{1.12}-1\approx 1.0583-1\\\\\boxed{r\approx 6\%}

Ishaan and his friends have 40$ to spend at a restaurant.
Paul [167]

The number of salads Ishaan and his friends can afford is 6 salads.

<h3>What are Word Problems?</h3>

Word Problems in mathematics involve crucial understanding and the use of variables and arithmetic operations to solve real-life cases.

From the given information;

  • The total amount with Ishaan and his friends = $40
  • If they decided to spend the money on salad(x) and one salad(x) cost = $6

Thus, the number of salads they can purchase is:

\mathbf{x = \dfrac{\$40}{\$6}}

x = 6 salads remaining $4

Therefore, we can conclude that the number of salads they can purchase with $40 is 6 salads with a remaining amount of $4.
