Which of the following is part of a clade believed to have died out, leaving no descendants?
paranthropus robustus
australopithecus africanus
homo erectus
homo sapiens sapiens

Paranthropus robustus

Explanation:

2.5 million years ago some autralopithecines were identified by dating fossils from South Africa, meaning they lived a good period of time. Of these, Australopithecus africanus is well known and is a little closer to our species. Other fossils found in excavations in both southern Africa and eastern Africa have been found to be of more recent specimens 2.5 to 2 million years ago. These specimens were classified as Paranthropus robustus and Paranthropus boisei. These australopithecine species became extinct and left no current descendants.

9.9 years

a = p(1 + rt) . . account balance after time t at rate r starting with principal p

3000 = 2500(1 + 0.0202t) . . filling in the given numbers

1.2 = 1 + 0.0202t . . divide by 2500

0.2 = 0.0202t . . . subtract 1

0.2/0.0202 = t ≈ 9.901

it will take about 9.9 years for the account balance to reach $3000.
