Answer:
can be expressed as decimal: 0.025
s= 1.025* $250
= $256.25
after 8 years
s= $250* 1.025^8
~$304.6
earned $54.6
Step-by-step explanation:
2 and a half is equivilant to 2.5
because it is a % (out of 100) move the decimal 2 places down
2.5-->0.25-->0.025
so can be expressed as decimal: 0.025
interest after 1 year is:
original amount of money * (interest rate+1.0)
+1 because you are adding on to 100%. you already have 100%. if it was just the interest rate, the amount of money would go down.
so
s= 1.025* $250
=1.025* 250
=256.25
interest after 8 years,
that means you have to take the original, and multiply it by the interest rate, then the new original multiply by intrest rate a total of 8 times
to do this use an exponent, because exponents base the total off the total before them. if that makes any sense srry
s= $250* 1.025^8
~$304.6 (I used calculator)
to get her earnings, subtract the new amount of money with her original amount of money
304.6-250
=54.6
$54.6
hope this helps
1/2 is the greater fraction
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The word "more" in this context means we want to find the difference between the number Daria has and the number Julia has. It is an "additive" comparison.
____
You need to be a little careful with this. You will often see wording such as "... <em>times more</em> than ...", in which case it is a multiplicative comparison. (I would prefer the multiplicative comparison wording to be "... times as many as ...", so that "more" is reserved for additive comparisons. Alas, not in this lifetime.)
3 + 1 < 10
There's no question there, and nothing to solve. That's a simple statement
which, after simplifying it slightly, says " 4 < 10 ".
A statement with which, I'm sure, we can all agree.
