What do u need help with?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hey your on florida vitual too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its fun stuff but very very hard

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is

mathslover (mathslover):

Ok so first of all @ana_stasia44 can you tell me that what is the formula for finding amount?

mathslover (mathslover):

@ana_stasia44 please reply... I can only help you if you will support me..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, I don't understand formulas yet, I just started this chapter :/

mathslover (mathslover):

Oh.., No problem but that is the most important part of the chapter... http://qrc.depaul.edu/StudyGuide2009/Notes/Savings%20Accounts/Compound%20Interest.htm

mathslover (mathslover):

\(\large{ A = P ( 1 + \frac{r}{100})^{nt}}\) where : P = principal amount (the initial amount you borrow or deposit) r = annual rate of interest (as a decimal) t = number of years the amount is deposited or borrowed for. A = amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest. n = number of times the interest is compounded per year

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, okay. I kind of understand now.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is the right formula, but it does't match with any of the answers

mathslover (mathslover):

Tell me what you get after putting the given values in the formula...?

mathslover (mathslover):

Oh do you mean simple interest @satellite73 ?

mathslover (mathslover):

\[\large{SI = \frac{PRT}{100}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think they must be asking about fictional "simple interest" so for example $900 at 10% for 3 years they compute by 10% of $900 is $90 and \(3\times \$90=\$270\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think this only because of the answers given. this is not really correct, but i guess that is what they want

mathslover (mathslover):

and then Amount = SI + P : \[\large{\frac{$900 * 10 * 3 }{100}= $ 270=SI }\] Hence Amount = SI + P = $ 900 + $ 270 = $1170

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here is another example 6% of 1,000 = .\(06\times 1000=60\) and \(4\times \$60=\$240\)

mathslover (mathslover):

So they are asking for SI simply..

mathslover (mathslover):

But then why did they give 4 years @satellite73 ?

mathslover (mathslover):

according to me it will be : ..

mathslover (mathslover):

@satellite73 what will you say?

mathslover (mathslover):

Well I think you also did the same

mathslover (mathslover):

@ana_stasia44 see the attachment I used the formula: \[\large{\textbf{SI}=\frac{PRT}{100}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, I see. Thanks for your help (:

mathslover (mathslover):

(: best of luck , try it for once.. thanks!!!
