Which is the following accurately describes carbon atoms?

Carbon is the sixth most abundant element in the planet. Without carbon, life will be non-existent. It provides the framework for all living organisms on Earth. A carbon atom is composed of six protons and six neutrons. Carbon is found in almost everything that surrounds us; they are in fuels, coals, natural gas, even the proteins that make-up hair and meat contain carbon. This is mainly because carbon atoms can bond to other carbon atoms to make a compound. It is naturally found in the environment and its abundance fits its purpose in our existence. A Carbon atoms can bond to other carbon atoms.

Answer:

9.9 years

step-by-step explanation:

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.
