Answer: a). 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

If the coin is fair, then the odds of getting heads or tails should be equal, 12.

Dave has $8000 to invest for 15 years. He finds a bank that offers an interest rate of 3.1% compounded monthly. How much money w
ioda

Dave will have $12,728 after 15 years, if he has $8000 to invest for 15 years. He finds a bank that offers an interest rate of 3.1% compounded monthly.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is,

                 Investment = $ 8000

               No. of years = 15 years

             Interest rate, i = 3.1 %

                 ( compounded monthly )  

Step:1

          For for calculating future value with compound interest monthly,

                                     A = P (1 +\frac{r}{n})^{nt}.................(1)

         Where,

                     A = Future amount

                     P = Initial investment

                     r = Rate of interest

                    n = Number of compounding in a year

                     t = Time period

Step:2

           From given values,

                           P = $8000

                            r =  3.1%

                            t = 15 years

                            n = 12 ( for monthly)

           Equation (1) becomes,

                          A = 8000( 1+\frac{0.031}{12} )^{(12)(15)}

                              = 8000 (1+0.002583)^{180}

                              = 8000(1.002583)^{180}

                              = 8000(1.591059)

                              =12728.48

                           A = $ 12728.48

Result:

           Dave will have $12,728 after 15 years, if he has $8000 to invest for 15 years. He finds a bank that offers an interest rate of 3.1% compounded monthly.

Kryger [21]

\text{In this question, you would need to find the right value that 15\% is \$75}\\\\\text{You can do this by multiplying each number by 0.15}:\\\\200*0.15=30\\\\300*0.15=45\\\\350*0.15= 52.5\\\\500*0.15=75\\\\\text{You would see that 15\% of 500 is \$75}\\\\\boxed{\$500}
