Pierre deposits $8,000 in a certificate of deposit that pays 8% interest, compounded semiannually. How much interest does the account earn in the first six months? What is the balance after six months? two answers and show work and write the answers out

38+105= 143, 39+104=143, and you will find then adding the numbers on opposite sides, moving inwards yields the answer 138 every time. because of this, you’re going to multiply 138 times the number of pairs, which is 34. therefore, 34*138= 4692(i’m sorry if it’s the wrong numbers, but it’s the right concept)
