Answer:
The principal must be = $8991.88
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula for compound interest is:

Where A is the amount after 't' years.
P is the principal amount
n is the number of times interest is compounded each year.
r is the rate of interest.
Here, we are given that:
Amount, A = $15000
Rate of interest = 13 % compounded quarterly i.e. 4 times every year
Number of times, interest is compounded each year, n = 4
Time, t = 4 years.
To find, Principal P = ?
Putting all the given values in the formula to find P.

So, <em>the principal must be = $8991.88</em>
Answer:
x = 1.5 ; y = -0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 4y = 1 ---------------------(i)
3x - 5y =7 ----------------------(ii)
(i) * 5 10x + 20y = 5
(ii)*4 <u> 12x -20y = 28 </u>
add, 22x = 33 { here y will be eliminated}
x = 33/22 = 3/2
x = 1.5
Put the value of x in equation (i)
2*1.5 + 4y = 1
3 + 4y = 1
4y = 1-3
4y = -2
y = -2/4 = -1/2
y = -0.5
