an amount was invested at r% per quarter. what value of r will ensure that accumulated amount at the end of one year is 1.5 times more than amount invested

will ensure that accumulated amount at the end of one year is 1.5 times more than amount invested

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: An amount was invested at r% per quarter.

To find: value of r such that accumulated amount at the end of one year is 1.5 times more than amount invested

Solution:

Let P denotes amount invested and n denotes time

As an amount (A) was invested at r% per quarter,

According to question, accumulated amount at the end of one year is 1.5 times more than amount invested.

So,

Put n = 1

x ≥ 18 is your answer

step-by-step explanation:

let "a number" = x

(2/3)x + 17 ≥ 29

isolate the variable (x). do the opposite of pemdas (parenthesis, exponent (& root), multiplication, division, addition, subtraction).

first, subtract 17 from both sides.

(2/3)x + 17 (-17) ≥ 29 (-17)

(2/3)x ≥ 29 - 17

(2/3)x ≥ 12

next, multiply 3/2 to both sides to isolate the x

(3/2)(2/3)x ≥ 12(3/2)

x ≥ 12(3/2)

simplify. multiply, then divide

x ≥ (12 * 3)/2

x ≥ (36)/2

x ≥ 18

x ≥ 18 is your answer
