Assuming a 4% (0.04) interest rate, $300 invested today in a savings account today will be worth $312 in one year. what will that amount be in 2 and 3 years, and what is the total interest you will earn at the end of three years.

in 2 years the savings account will show: $324.48

in 3 years the savings account will show: $337.46

so the interest earned in these three years would be $337.46 - $300 = $37.46

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for interest rate compounded annually is what describes this investment, since: where A is the accrued value (total value of principal plus accumulated interest) in the account after the first year ($312), P the principal ($300 in our case), and r the interest rate in decimal form (0.04), and t is the time in years (one for the fist year). They perfectly satisfy the equation:

Then, we can apply this equation for years 2 and 3, just changing the value of t to 2 and 3, as shown below:

We can round the last value to two decimals (cents) obtaining: $337.46

The pure interest after the three years is therefore the total at that time minus the principal the account was started with ($300): $337.46 - $300 = $37.46

step-by-step explanation:

a child is 12 years old, and his father is 32 years older. in how many years will the age of the father be 2 times the age of the child?

******************

this needs to be the answer format, or else your answer is incomplete.

if the number of years is x, then the equation is

in __ years

tried on you are knowing that we can't leave the picture in the graph ok no problem now you need to send it in the question group
