an account starts with $500 and is compounded quarterly at 5% interest how much is the account worth after 10 years

$1500

Step-by-step explanation:

First, converting R percent to r a decimal

r = R/100 = 20%/100 = 0.2 per year,

then, solving our equation

I = 500 × 0.2 × 10 = 1000

I = $ 1,000.00

The simple interest accumulated

on a principal of $ 500.00

at a rate of 20% per year

for 10 years is $ 1,000.00.

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
