Answer:
$1480.24
Step-by-step explanation:
This will be solved by the formula:

Where
FV is the future value (what we are looking for)
I is the initial amount (which is $1000)
r is the rate of interest per period (8% is annual interest, but the period is SEMI-ANNUAL, that's 6 months, half of yearly. So r would be half of 8%, which is 4% or r = 0.04)
t is the times compounding occurs in the whole time (The whole time period is 5 years, but compounding occurs semi-annually, so 5*2 = 10 times. Thus, t = 10)
<em>plugging the info into the formula we will get our answer.</em>

Find a number you can multiply by the bottom of the fraction to make it 10, 100, or 1000 and multiple both top and bottom by that number then write down just the top number putting the decimal point in the correct spot.
Know a are:
CW=75. SL= 250. Y= 2x
CW= X= number of wings
SL= Y= number of sliders
X+Y= Total number of items, which can be rewritten as X+2X= total
Plug in the calories for the total
2(75X) +250X= 800
150x+250X= 400X= 800
X= 800/400=2 pieces of Slider
Double the amount for Wings=2x2=4
4wings/2 Sliders
5/1 • 2/5 = 10/5 = 2
The area is 2 inches
