A person invests 7000 dollars in a bank. The bank pays 6.5% interest compounded monthly. To the nearest tenth of a year, how long must the person leave the money in the bank until it reaches 15900 dollars?

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
