Ronisha invests $5000 in an account that earns 2.3% annual simple interest. After 3 years, Ronisha invests the interest earned i

n a second account. This account earns 3.2% annual interest. Ronisha leaves the money in this account until she has earned $55.20 in interest. Ronisha does not deposit or withdraw any money from the accounts. How long does Ronisha invest money into the second account?

Very complicated problem, but thank goodness I have too much time and am a nerd.

Basically model 1st account as so.
Fv=pv(1+I)^N
Fv future value
Pv present value
I interest
N number years
So first equation is interest earned after 3 years
Y=5000(1+0.023)^3
Y=5353 (rounded up)
So we know that the interest earned is 5353-5000 which is 353.

Now Ronisha (clearly the name of a future investment genius) invests these 353$ in a new account.
Now remember we’re not solving for FV we’re cause we’re given that: 55.2$
However this is the interest earned not the future value. So if interest earned is fv - pv and we know pv
Fv - 353 = 55.2
Fv = 408.2$
So now we reuse the formula
408.2 = 353(1+0.032)^x
Now just solve for x:
First divide both sides by 353
1.156 = 1.032^x
Remember the log rule that states x=b^y is same as y=logb(x)
So using the same logic:
X= log1.032(1.156)
Use some kind of calculator for that where you can adjust log base. But you basically get:
X= 4.602
So Ronisha has to basically invest 5 years or 4.6 years which is 4 years and 7 months.

Omg nevermind, wait it’s simple interest….
Sorry here’s the simple solution. My bad, but I worked so hard on the top part I don’t want to delete it.
I=prt
Interest = principal * rate * time
I= 5000(0.023)(3)=345
Then just do the same but plug 55.2 for I
55.2 = 345(0.032)t
Now solve for t
55.2 = 11.04t
t= 5

As you can see, similar logic where ultimately it takes 5 years. But this “genius” Ronisha should’ve just done compounding interest (my first calculation) and gotten it done in 4.6 years. Almost 5 months faster.

Bella’s shoe is more or less than one yard?
Luba_88 [7]
Her shoe may be about a foot, definitely not 3 feet (a yard.) A yard length shoe does not seem average or the normal size.


Therefore, Bella's shoe is less than one yard.

Hope this helps! :)

Quadrilateral ABCD is inscribed in a circle. Find the measure of each of the angles of the quadrilateral. Show your work.
LuckyWell [14K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadrilateral ABCD is inscribed in a circle.

Opposite angles of a Quadrilateral are Supplementary.

\therefore \: \angle A + \angle C = 180° \\  \therefore \:(2x + 3) \degree+ (2x + 1) \degree = 180° \\  \therefore \: (4x + 4) \degree = 180° \\ \therefore \: (4x + 4) = 180 \\ \therefore \: 4x = 180 - 4 \\ \therefore \: 4x = 176 \\ \therefore \: x =  \frac{176}{4}  \\ \therefore \: x =  44 \\  \\  m\angle A  = (2x + 3) \degree \\  = (2 \times 44 + 3) \degree \\ = (88 + 3) \degree \\  \huge \red{ \boxed{ \therefore \: m\angle A  =91 \degree}} \\  \\ m\angle  C = (2x + 1) \degree \\  = (2 \times 44 + 1) \degree \\ = (88 + 1) \degree \\  \huge \red{ \boxed{ \therefore \: m\angle   C=89\degree}}  \\  \\ m\angle  D= (x - 10) \degree \\  = (44 - 10) \degree \\  \huge \red{ \boxed{ \therefore \: m\angle  D =34\degree}}  \\  \\ similarly \\  \\  \huge \red{ \boxed{ \therefore \: m\angle  B  = 146\degree}}   \\  \\

What is the inequality -26
lilavasa [31]
-26 is not an inequality.  It's just a number.  Maybe there was
another part of it that you forgot to copy.
