Using the formula:
120(1+.08)^5
Results in:
approximately 176.3193692 dollars
You can calculate 400+200 or sum 368+231= 599 and then round your result, which gives 600
Response:
- Marti is declared the winner
Step-by-step explanation:
Continuation of question:
- After 10 seconds, the race concluded. The winner is the racer farthest from the starting point. Which car deserves the title of winner? Use mathematical reasoning to support your conclusion.
- Table is attached
Solution
Greg
- Travel speed = 13 ft/s
- Initial position = 30.7 ft from the starting point after 2 seconds
Distance from the starting point after 10 seconds:
30.7 + 13*(10 - 2) = 30.7 + 13*8 = 30.7 + 104 = 134.7 ft
Marti
Travel speed = 16.5 ft/s
- Starting position = 2 ft from the beginning line
Distance from starting point after 10 seconds:
2 + 10*16.5 = 2 + 165 = 167 ft
- In comparing the distances from the start line, 134.7 ft against 167 ft, Marti is further from the start line and is thus declared the winner.
Greetings from MrBillDoesMath!
The answer is:
669/221
Discussion:
The ratio of 669 to 221 equals 669/221. Observing the factors, 669 is 3 * 223 and 221 is 13 * 17. As all these factors are distinct primes, nothing cancels in their ratio. Thus, 669/221 remains in its simplest form.
