Lizzie invested $2,000 into an account that earned 5% interest per year. When she cashed out the investment, it was worth a total of $2,205.
Create an equation (using the word bank) that describes Lizzie's investment based on t,
the number of years she kept the account open.
Word Bank:
1.05
0.05
$2.205
$205
t
$2,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The way to approach the problem is this

After one year she has 2000*1.05

After two years she has the money from the last year plus interest, so she has 2000*1.05*1.05

After t years she has 2000*1.05

the given 6 = w/p is equivalent to 6p = w, where w is the total area of the walls and p is the area covered by a single can of paint.

knowing that 6 cans of paint will be needed, 6p = w becomes 6(6) = w = 36.   this tells us that the total area to be painted is 36 square units.
