Answer:

24 days

total units = 120* 30 = 3600

used after 10 days = 120*10 = 1200

remaining units after 10 days = 3600-1200 = 2400

2400/100 people = 24 days that the provisions will last

Step-by-step explanation:

You deposit 2000 in account A, which pays 2.25% annual interest compounded monthly. You deposit another 2000 in account b, which

stellarik [79]

To model this situation, we are going to use the compound interest formula: $A=P(1+ \frac{r}{n} )^{nt}$
where
$A$ is the final amount after $t$ years
$P$ is the initial deposit
$r$ is the interest rate in decimal form
$n$ is the number of times the interest is compounded per year
$t$ is the time in years

For account A:
We know for our problem that $P=2000$ and $r= \frac{2.25}{100} =0.0225$ . Since the interest is compounded monthly, it is compounded 12 times per year; therefore, $n=12$ . Lets replace those values in our formula:
$A=2000(1+ \frac{0.0225}{12} )^{12t}$

For account B:
$P=2000$ , $r= \frac{3}{100} =0.03$ , $n=12$ . Lest replace those values in our formula:
$A=2000(1+ \frac{0.03}{12} )^{12t}$

Since we want to find the time, $t$ , <span>when the sum of the balance in both accounts is at least 5000, we need to add both accounts and set that sum equal to 5000:
</span> $2000(1+ \frac{0.0225}{12} )^{12t}+2000(1+ \frac{0.03}{12} )^{12t}=5000$

Now that we have our equation, we just need to solve for $t$ :
$2000[(1+ \frac{0.0225}{12} )^{12t}+(1+ \frac{0.03}{12} )^{12t}]=5000$
$(1+ \frac{0.0225}{12} )^{12t}+(1+ \frac{0.03}{12} )^{12t}= \frac{5000} {2000}$
$(1.001875)^{12t}+(1.0025 )^{12t}= \frac{5}
{2}$
$ln(1.001875)^{12t}+ln(1.0025 )^{12t}=ln( \frac{5} {2})$
$12tln(1.001875)+12tln(1.0025 )=ln( \frac{5} {2})$
$t[12ln(1.001875)+12ln(1.0025 )]=ln( \frac{5} {2})$
$t= \frac{ln( \frac{5}{2} )}{12ln(1.001875)+12ln(1.0025 )}$
$17.47$

We can conclude that after 17.47 years <span>the sum of the balance in both accounts will be at least 5000.</span>

Explain what happens when you round 4.999 to the nearest tenth

Reptile [31]

It would round to 5 because 4.999 is closer to 5 than a decimal (idk if that's 100%)

How to multiply and divide integers

Artyom0805 [142]

You multiply or divide integers just as you do whole numbers, except you must keep track of the signs. To multiply or divide signed integers, always multiply or divide the absolute values and use these rules to determine the sign of the answer.

<span>
When you multiply two integers with the same signs, the result is always positive. Just multiply the absolute values and make the answer positive.</span>

<span>Positive x positive = positive
Negative x negative = positive</span>

<span>When you multiply two integers with different signs, the result is always negative. Just multiply the absolute values and make the answer negative.</span>

<span>Positive x negative = negative
Negative x positive = negative</span>

<span>When you divide two integers with the same sign, the result is always positive. Just divide the absolute values and make the answer positive.</span>

<span>Positive ÷ positive = positive
Negative ÷ negative = positive</span>
