Answer:
5%
Step-by-step explanation:
Total 'halwa' made = 1
Divided into four equal portion = 1/4
Arrival of an unexpected guest = 1/5
By what percentage has each family member's share been reduced:
Change in the sharing proportion:
Previous share ratio - new sharing ratio
(1/4 - 1/5) = (5 - 4) / 20 = 1/20
That means total reduction in the sharing = 1/ 20
Since each member comes contributed equally:
Reduction in each family member's share ;
(1 / 20) ÷ 4
(1 / 20) * 1/4 = 1/ 80
Percentage reduction:
(Reduction / original share) * 100%
[(1/80) ÷ (1/4)] * 100
(1/80 * 4/1) * 100%
(1/20) * 100%
= 5%
Reduction in each family members share = 5%
Answer:
A = $18,326.00
(assuming simple interest)
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming simple interest, the following formula applies:
final amount = (principal amount) x [1 + (annual rate)(time elapsed) ]
or
A = P (1 + rt)
in our case,
P = $7,700
r = 5.75% = 0.0575
t = 24 years
hence,
A = 7700 [ 1 + (0.0575)(24)]
A = 7700 ( 1 + 1.38)
A = 7700 x 2.38
A = $18,326.00
I think the answer is D.
I AM NOT SURE BUT MAYBE IT IS.
