The future amount of the current deposit given that the interest is simple and yearly is computed through the equation,
F = P x (1 + in)
where P is the principal amount, F is the future amount, i is the interest (in decimal form) and n is the number of years.
In this certain problem, we substitute the known values to the equation and solve for P,
2419.60 = P x (1 + (0.052)(1))
P = 2300
Thus, the initial investment was worth $2,300.
Answer:
(-2,21)
Step-by-step explanation:
2 days ago, Paulo's commute time was halfway between his commute times 8 and 9 days ago.
8 days ago means that x-coordinate -8 represents this day. Count 8 units to the left and find that when x = -8, y = 24 minutes.
9 days ago means that x-coordinate -9 represents this day. Count 9 units to the left and find that when x = -9, y = 18 minutes.
Find halfway commute time between points (-8,24) and (-9,18):

then coordinates that Paulo should graph are
(-2, 21)
(-2 means 2 days ago, 21 is the halfway)
Answer:
The size of the sample is 23 scientists.
4280 because 75+5+4200= 4280
