 Money_Word_Problems/737209: Julie borrows $60,000 from a bank that is charging eight percent interest, compounded annually. If she pays the loan back in eight years, approximately how much interest will she pay? a$39,840 b $39,994 c$42,120 d $51,0561 solutions Answer 450219 by jim_thompson5910(28595) on 2013-04-13 13:25:52 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!A = P(1+r/n)^(n*t) A = 60000(1+0.08/1)^(1*8) A = 111,055.812616912 A = 111,055.81 She pays back$111,055.81 total. So she pays 111,055.81 - 60,000 = $51,055.81 in interest total. The closest answer choice is choice D since it looks like they rounded to the nearest dollar.

If Laura mixes 5mL acetic acid with 120mL water to make a solution that should be 5% acid, how does she know she needs to add more acetic acid?1 solutions Answer 450214 by jim_thompson5910(28595) on 2013-04-13 12:52:32 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!She has 5+120 = 125 mL of solution total when she mixes the acid and water. 5/125 = 1/25 = 0.04 = 4% of this solution is pure acid BUT she wants 5% of the solution to be pure acid. So she needs more acetic acid to go from 4% acid to 5% acid.

Start with the given expression. Now let's FOIL the expression. Remember, when you FOIL an expression, you follow this procedure: Multiply the First terms:. Multiply the Outer terms:. Multiply the Inner terms:. Multiply the Last terms:. --------------------------------------------------- So we have the terms: , , , Now add every term listed above to make a single expression. Now combine like terms. So FOILs to . In other words, . I hope your teacher gets better soon.  Graphs/736947: I have to sketch the graph of each line and I am lost. y= -2/3x+31 solutions Answer 450114 by jim_thompson5910(28595) on 2013-04-12 16:05:42 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!Looking at we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form where the slope is and the y-intercept is Since this tells us that the y-intercept is .Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis So we have one point Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means Also, because the slope is , this means: which shows us that the rise is -2 and the run is 3. This means that to go from point to point, we can go down 2 and over 3 So starting at , go down 2 units and to the right 3 units to get to the next point Now draw a line through these points to graph So this is the graph of through the points and  Angles/736941: A triangle has angles that measure 94°, 17°, and 69°.

Reduce. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Answer: So the solution is Which in decimal form is  Money_Word_Problems/737012: Your job pays you$1,600 per month. All taxes combined reduce your pay by 25%. Your current total expenses are $1,200. You want to join a health club for$75 per month. Can you afford it?1 solutions Answer 450111 by jim_thompson5910(28595)   on 2013-04-12 15:58:31 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!1600 - 25% of 1600 = 1600 - 0.25*1600 = 1200 So after you take 25% of 1600 away from 1600, you're left with 1200 So you are *really* paid $1,200 a month (instead of$1,600 a month) after you take out all taxes. Your expenses are $1,200, so you will have 1200 - 1200 = 0 dollars left over So you CANNOT afford the health club or any additional expenses. This is assuming you don't rely on a credit card or other forms of loans.  Exponential-and-logarithmic-functions/736934: You invest$1,300 in an account with an annual interest rate of 2.5%, compounded monthly. How much money is in the account after 5 years? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. 1 solutions Answer 450110 by jim_thompson5910(28595)   on 2013-04-12 15:55:46 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!A = P(1+r/n)^(n*t) A = 1300(1+0.025/12)^(12*5) A = 1300(1+0.002083333)^(60) A = 1300(1.002083333)^(60) A = 1300(1.133001099) A = 1472.9014287 A = 1472.90 So there will be \$1,472.90 in the account in 5 years.
