A negative number is not considered a whole number...so ur answer is -229
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a ) The worth of Jean-Claude's gnome after 1 year
= 80000 x 1.02
= £81600
b ) common ratio of geometric progression
= 81600 / 80000
= 1.02
c ) worth after 10 years
= 80000 x 1.02¹⁰
= 80000 x 1.21899
= £97519.55
d )
120000 = 80000 x
1.5 = 
ln1.5 = k ln 1.02
k = ln 1.5 / ln 1.02
= .4054 / .0198
= 20.47 years .
Formula for compound interest is
Interest = Amount - Principal
Interest =
- P
Where r = rate in percent
t = time in years
For Jaina,
P = $300
r= 7%
t = 3 yrs
So, Interest =
- 300
For Tomas
P = $400
r= 4%
t = 3 yrs
So, Interest =
- 400
So pair of equations for Jaina and Tomas are
Interest =
- 300
Interest =
- 400
X=2 or -7(answer choice A)
