quadruple means 4.
and for the 5th month I think it would be 512???

Answer 11

well, the 5th month is at around 125, does the 6th month look like it quadrupled?

Answer 12

this is for A

Answer 13

the 6th month look like its around 250

Answer 14

quadruple means times 4, just to let you know if you did not, and you are right about th 6th month

Answer 15

do you think A is right?

Answer 16

yes.

Answer 17

A is not right, because 125 Quadrupled is 500, not 250. But dont be dicouraged we are almost there

Answer 18

Answer 23

in one month it should be quadrupled

Answer 24

the 4th month looks around 500

Answer 25

would you say it is right?

Answer 26

remember the 3rd month is hard to look at, so we dont know what it is exactly

Answer 27

105x4=420 so yes and no?

Answer 28

B is right

Answer 29

because we dont know for sure what the 3rd month is, so it would be safe to say that it is right

An investment account on 4% per year compounded annually if the initial was $4,000.00, how much is in the account after 3 years? Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

Answer 38

in order to figure what is 4% of something, and add it to the number, you times 4,000 by 1.04

Answer 39

and how many times do you think we should do that?
