A certain gentleman acquired 54 gold bonds issued by the Weimar Republic in 1934. The value of each was 2500 troy ounces of gold. The bonds matured in 1954, at which time the value of each was 2500 troy ounces of gold at 1954 prices. The price of gold at that time was around $350 per troy ounce. The bonds could not be redeemed because in 1954 there was no single German country—it had been divided into two nations. But provisions of the bond stated that from 1954 onward the unredeemed bonds grew in value according to the exponential formula Value = Initial value × 1.00019365t,
where t is the number of years since 1954.

What was the total value of this man's 54 bonds in 2019? Give your answer in billions of dollars rounded to two decimal places.

Repeat the accusation

They way i figured it, i got the answer of a. $120,200

There really doesn't seem to be anything remotely advanced about this question, especially for high school.that being said, the actual correct answer may depend on the lesson you received.but i'll use common knowledge to you out here.  an atlas is a map, a flat map which depicts the world, all the continents and large bodies of water and etc.  an almanac is basically a yearly calendar. this depicts all the stuff that happened during the year it was released after, such as important events, sporting stuff, astronomical data, etc. it really depends on what type of almanac you go for.encyclopedias contain vast knowledge about just about everything important around the globe. each encyclopedia is generally focused on a topic and it's relating topics, ordered by each book alphabetically.  information resource can be anything. internet, newspaper, talking dog of pure wisdom (joking), the bible (or the religious book for whatever religion is in question), etc. all of these are considered information resources, as they all provide information on their respective topics (the internet is pretty much all topics)now, once again, your true answer will be based on whatever it is you learned, which i would not know. my answer will simply be using common knowledge.but your answers that line up with weather, sports, and business would be an almanac, information resources, and encyclopedia.  unfortunately, in today's world, they have books for everything. they have almanacs for weather, sports, and business, and they also have encyclopedia's for those as well. and of course, you can find all of that using information resources as well.  the only truly incorrect answer here is atlases.  ~hope this !
