Answer: 64 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let assume the dealer sold the bottle now for $P, then invested that money at 5% interest. The return would be:
R1 = P(1.05)^t,
This means that after t years, the dealer would have the total amount of:
$P×1.05^t.
If the dealer prefer to wait for t years from now to sell the bottle of wine, then he will get the return of:
R2 = $P(1 + 20).
The value of t which will make both returns equal, will be;
R1 = R2.
P×1.05^t = P(1+20)
P will cancel out
1.05^t = 21
Log both sides
Log1.05^t = Log21
tLog1.05 = Log21
t = Log21/Log1.05
t = 64 years
The best time to sell the wine is therefore 64years from now.
Do a proportion. 28/100= 7/x. Now cross multiply and divide. 7 x 100=700 and 700 divided by 28 is 25. There are 25 students in the class. Answer is 25
