Answer 12

Oh, gotcha.

Answer 13

You have the formula,\[\rm t = c + cb\]and you have \(\rm c = 13.21\) and \(\rm b = 6\). You have to find what \(\rm t\) is.

Answer 14

Substituting \(\rm c = 13.21 \) and \(\rm b = 6\),\[\rm t = 13.21 + (13.21\times 6\%)\]

Answer 15

I Got 14.0026

Answer 16

\[13.21 +\left(13.21 \times {6 \over 100}\right)\]

Answer 17
