Use the following compound interest formula to complete the problem.

sandra has two credit cards, p and q. card p has a balance of $726.19 and an interest rate of 10.19%, compounded semiannually. card q has a balance of $855.20 and an interest rate of 8.63%, compounded monthly. assuming that sandra makes no purchases and no payments with either card, after four years, which card’s balance will have increased by more, and how much greater will that increase be?
a.
card q’s balance increased by $7.22 more than card p’s balance.
b.
card q’s balance increased by $6.69 more than card p’s balance.
c.
card p’s balance increased by $3.43 more than card q’s balance.
d.
card p’s balance increased by $0.80 more than card q’s balance.

Card P's balance increased by $3.43 more than Card Q's balance. The accumulated total on Card P over the 4 years is $1080.70 and the accumulated total of Card Q is $1,206.28. Based on the principal outlay however, Card P would have netted a higher interest over Card Q when the principal is subtracted from the accumulated value. (For eg. Card P accumulated value $1080.70 less Principal $726.19 equals $354.51).The interests over the 4 years period would be $354.51 and $351.08 respectively, hence Card P having an increase in balance of $3.43 over Card Q.

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:   x^2 + y^2 = 1024

discussion:

the equation of a circle with center (h,k) and radius "r" is

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2.

in our case

(x-0)^2 + (y-0) ^2 = 32^2 = 1024

you,
