Dean invested $1100 into a bond. When the bond's maturity date was reached five years later, Dean had a total of $1500. What is Dean's rate of return on investment?

About 36%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the rate of return on investment is the total value minus the initial cost divided by the initial cost.

The total value is $1,500. The initial cost is $1,100.

(1,500 - 1,100) / 1,100 = 400 / 1,100 = 4 / 11 = 0.363636363636

So, Dean's rate of return on investment is about 36%.

Hope this helps!

step-by-step explanation:

the original amount doesn't ''re just looking for the time it takes for 1/2 of the substance to we have

(1/2) =)     take the ln   of both sides

ln (1/2)   = )   and we can write

ln(1/2) = ) lne     and lne   = 1     so we have

ln(1/2) = -.1092t     divide both sides by -.1092

t = ln(1/2)/-.1092 = about 6.347 days = about 6.3 days (rounded)
