Stephanie is earning simple interest of 3.5% on her money each month. She currently has $1325 in her account. What will her balance be in 5 months?

$1556.88

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Stephanie is earning simple interest and not compound interest, we can multiply her interest rate for each month by how many months we are calculating for.

0.035 x 5 = 0.175

Then multiply that by her current balance but change the 0 in front of the 0.175 to a 1 to reduce the number of steps we have to take. (It automatically adds what is earned in interest to her current balance.)

1.175 x 1325 = 1556.875

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.
