Answer 8

I am assuming it is asking you to list every one in ordered after 1 year, although that, whether it is one year or more years, might not even make a difference.

Cody, \(\large\color{black}{ 23.04 \times 0.03125 }\)
Gregg, \(\large\color{black}{ 22.75 \times 0.04 }\)
Gregg, \(\large\color{black}{ 22.60 \times 0.05 }\)

Answer 9

Answer 10

this all is after a single year.

Answer 11

Answer 12

Ohh, my bad, all the second numbers times which you multiply should have a 1 not zero in front.

Answer 13

Gregg is 23.66, Cody is 23.76, and Kandell is 23.73

Answer 14

So it would be... Gregg, Kendall, Cody

Answer 15

Cody, \(\large\color{black}{ 23.04 \times 1.03125 }\)
Gregg, \(\large\color{black}{ 22.75 \times 1.04 }\)
Kendall, \(\large\color{black}{ 22.60 \times 1.05 }\)
