Thomas his grandfather put $1000 in the bank for him when he was born. The account has been earning 5.25% interest compounded annually. Write an equation to see how much money he would have to after 18 years.

y = 2x

step-by-step explanation:

if you divide each number in the sequence, you'll see that they all have a multiple factor of 2. each number in the series, and any other numbers which may continue, will be multiplied by 2. therefore, y is the next number in the sequence, and x is the current one, so, our formula will be y = 2x.

answer: 5 17/33 % (to the tenth)

step-by-step explanation:

he guessed: 34.5 pounds

actual weight is 32.7

there for he is off:

34.5 -32.7 = 1.8

32.7 is the 100%

1.8 represents %? of 32.7

therefore:

32.7   - 100%

1.8     -     x%

x= 1.8*100%/32.7% = 18*100%/327%

x=1800%/327%   = (5 165/327)%

to the tenth:

5 17/33 %
