Answer:
$1,701.64
Step-by-step explanation:
(see attached for reference)
recall that for compound interest, the following formula applies:
A = P [1 + (r/n) ] ^ (nt), where
A = final amount (we are asked to find this)
P = Principal amount = $1,200
r = interest rate = 5% = 0.05
t = 7 years
n = 12
Substituting these into the equation,
A = 1200 [1 + (0.05/12) ] ^ [(12)(7)]
A = $1,701.64
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that we have in total 18 items. Even though we are given information regarding the amounts of items per type, the general question asks the total number of ways in which you can pick 5 out of the 18 objects, without any restriction on the type of chosen items. Therefore, the information regarding the type is unnecessary to solve the problem.
Recall that given n elements, the different ways of choosing k elements out of n is given by the binomial coefficient .
Therefore, in this case the total number of ways is just
In one year, the Perseid meteor shower had a meteor appear every 1 1/5 minutes on average. That same year, the Leonid meteor shower had a meteor appear every 4 2/3 minutes on average. How many more meteors fell during the Perseid meteor shower?
Answer:
325,452 meteors
Step-by-step explanation:
We all know that :
We have 365 days in a year and in each day there are 24 hours, Likewise an hour has 60 minutes
SO, the total number of minutes in a year is :
365 × 24 × 60 = 525600 minutes
For Perseid meteor:
So one meteor fall at 1.2 minutes interval Thus, in a year, we will have :
1 meteor - 1.2 minutes.
x meteor - 525600 minutes.
1.2x = 525600
x = 438000
∴ 438,000 meteors fell during the Perseid shower.
For Leonid meteor shower:
So one meteor fall at 4.67 minutes interval Thus, in a year, we will have :
1 meteor - 4.67 minutes.
x meteors - 525600 minutes.
x = 112548
112,548 meteors fell during the Leonid Shower.
Finally , the numbers of more meteors that fell during the Perseid meteor shower is calculated by the difference in the number of Perseid meteor shower and Lenoid meteor shower. i.e
438,000 - 112,548 = 325,452
325,452 more meteors fell during the Perseid meteor shower
