Tammy accidentally wrote a check for more money than she had in her checking account. When she got her statement, she saw that her balance was - 125 . If she deposits 1/5 of the money owed into her account, what will be her new balance?

-100

Step-by-step explanation:

1/5 of -125 will be -25.

So, if she deposits 1/5 of what she owes, then she will deposit $25.

Her balance will then become -100 because she paid back 25.

Her new balance is -100

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.
