On April 1, 1986, Casey deposited $1150 into a savings account paying 9.6% interest, compounded quarterly. If he hasn't made any

additional deposits or withdrawals since then, and if the interest rate has stayed the same, in what year did his balance hit $2300, according to the rule of 72?

According to the rule of 72,
72/rate=time
72÷9.6=7.5 years

An alternative method for resolution using the main formula
2300=1150(1+0.096/4)^4t
Isolate t
t=((log(2,300÷1,150)÷log(1+(0.096÷4))÷4))=7.31 years

I hope this is helpful:-)

Answer: 7.5 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this scenario, the initial amount = $1150

The sum after accruing compound interest becomes = $2300

Since, $2300 is twice the initial amount of $1150.

Following the rule of 72, an investment doubles if the result of the annual rate multiplied by time (in years) equals 72. This rule provides an approximate value for the interest rate or duration.

In this case, the annual interest rate is 9.6%.

Let's determine how long it takes for the $1150 to double to $2300 in t years.

Then, applying the equation, 9.6 × t = 72

⇒ t = 72/9.6 = 7.5

Therefore, the initial amount of $1150 doubles in about 7.5 years.

Verification: How to calculate the years using the compound interest formula.

2300=1150(1+\frac{9.6}{100})^{t}

2=(1+\frac{9.6}{100})^{t}

2=(1+\frac{9.6}{100})^{t}

2^{1/t}=(1+\frac{9.6}{100})

Thus, t = 7.562 years.

a resorvoir can be filled by an inlet pipe in 24 hours and emptied by an outlet pipe 28 hours. the foreman starts to fill the re
zzz [4022]
To determine the rates at which the inlet and outlet pipes fill and empty the reservoir, we remember that work done equals rate multiplied by time. Let’s denote the inlet rate as i and for the outlet pipe as 0. Therefore,
i(24) = 1
o(28) = 1
In this context, the '1' represents the total number of reservoirs, since the problem states the time needed for each pipe to either fill or empty a singular reservoir. Solving for rates yields:
i = 1/24 reservoirs/hour
o = 1/28 reservoirs/hour

Over the first six hours, the inlet pipe fills (1/24)(6) = 1/4 reservoirs and during the same period, the outlet pipe empties (1/28)(6) = 3/14 reservoirs. To calculate the net volume of the reservoir filled, we subtract the emptying total from the filling total:
1/4 - 3/14 = 1/28 reservoirs (note that if emptying exceeds filling, a negative value results. In such cases, treat that negative value as zero, indicating that the outlet rate surpasses the inlet rate, leading to an empty reservoir).
Now we need to find out how long it will take to fill up one reservoir since we’ve already partially filled 1/28 of it, after closing the outlet pipe. In simpler terms, we need to determine the time required for the inlet pipe to finish filling the remaining 27/28 of the reservoir. Fortunately, we have already established the filling rate for the inlet pipe, leading to the equation:
(1/24)t = 27/28
Solving for t gives us 23.14 hours. Remember to add the initial 6 hours to this result since the question seeks the total time. Thus, the final total is 29.14 hours.

A law firm is going to designate associates and partners to a big new case. The daily rate charged to the client for each associ
babunello [3635]

Response:

Each associate incurs a cost of $700 daily for the client, meaning that 'a' associates will cost the client 700a dollars each day. For each partner, the charge is $1500 daily, so 'p' partners will accumulate a cost of 1500p dollars daily. The cumulative bill amounts to 700a + 1500p = $14100:

700a + 1500p = 14100

700a + 1500p = 14100

Given that there are a total of 11 lawyers assigned (associates and partners), the equation a + p must equal 11.

a + p = 11

a + p = 11
