There is 75% decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Old value = 688 qt

New value = 172 qt

Change = New value - Old value

Change = 172 - 688

Change = -516 qt

The negative sign indicates decrease.

Decrease percent = $\frac{Change}{Old\ value}*100$

Decrease percent = $\frac{516}{688}*100$

Decrease percent = $\frac{51600}{688}$

Decrease percent = 75%

There is 75% decrease.

chris can run at a constant speed of 12 km/h. How ling will it take him to run from his home to the park, a distance of 0.8 km?

densk [106]

Recall that distance = speed times time. Thus, time = distance / speed.

Here:

time = distance / speed = 0.8 km / 12 km/hr = 1/15 hr.

Note that 1/15 hr = 1/15 (60 min) = 4 minutes

Mrs. Matthews wants to have $18,000 in the bank in 2 years. If she deposits $9000 today at 6% compounded quarterly for 2 years,

OverLord2011 [107]

Depends if you want
1. find how much he will earn, find the differnce between that and 18000
2. see how much to invest till he will get 18000

A= $P(1+ \frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

A=futre amount
P=present amout
r=rate in decimal
n=number of times per year ccompounded
t=time in years

1.
A=?
P=9000
r=0.06
n=4 (quarter means 4 times per year)
t=2
?= $9000(1+ \frac{0.06}{4})^{(4)(2)}$
?= $9000(1+ 0.015)^{8}$
?= $9000(1.015)^{8}$
?=10138.4 will be earned
18000-10138.4=7861.6 needed

2.
A=18000
P=9000+x
r=0.06
n=4 (quarter means 4 times per year)
t=2
18000= $(9000+x)(1+ \frac{0.06}{4})^{(4)(2)}$
18000= $(9000+x)(1+ 0.015)^{8}$
18000= $(9000+x)(1.015)^{8}$
divide both sides by 1.015^8
15978.8=9000+x
minus 9000 both sides
6978.8 needed

if he willnot be investing any more, he needs $7861.6 more
if he will invest more he will need to invest $6978.8 more
