Since our sum is 62, and we have consecutive numbers being added, our range is most likely going to be from 10-20.
To further solve this problem easily, try finding 4 consecutive numbers with the ones place adding up to 12, 22, 32, 42, or any number that sums up to the 2 in the ones place.
Let's try 14, 15, 16, 17, since 4, 5, 6, and 7 sum up to a number with a 2 in the ones place.
14 + 15 = 29,
16 + 17 = 33.
33 + 29 is 62.
We have found the age of the friends, but we're looking for the oldest.
Our largest number is 17.
Your answer is 17 years old.
I hope this helps!

natita [175]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

After one year

A=p(1+r/n)^nt

=2000(1+0.03/12)^12*1

=2000(1+0.0025)^12

=2000(1.0025)^12

=2000(1.0304)

=$2060.8

After two-years

A=p(1+r/n)^nt

=2060.8(1+0.03/12)^12*2

=2060.8(1+0.0025)^24

=2060.8(1.0025)^24

=2060.8(1.0618)

=$2188.157

After three years

A=p(1+r/n)^nt

=2188.157(1+0.03/12)^12*3

=2188.157(1+0.0025)^36

=2188.157(1.0025)^36

=2188.157(1.0941)

=$2394.063
