$1,100 per month for 10 years, if the account earns 2% per year What the student or parent is asking is: If they deposit $1,100 per month in a savings/investment account every month for 10 years, and they earn 2% per year, how much will the account be worth after 10 years? Deposits are monthly. But interest crediting is annual. What we want is to match the two based on interest crediting time, which is annual or yearly. 1100 per month. * 12 months in a year = 13,200 per year in deposit Since we matched interest crediting period with deposits, we now want to know: If they deposit $13,200 per year in a savings/investment account every year for 10 years, and they earn 2% per year, how much will the account be worth after 10 years? This is an annuity, which is a constant stream of payments with interest crediting at a certain period.

Corvettes are known as sporty cars that can travel at high rates of speed. It is therefore assumed that they are much more dangerous than minivans. An owner of a Corvette points out that when statistics are studied, there are far more deaths each year from crashes that involve minivans than crashes that involve Corvettes, so Corvettes, so Corvettes must be safer than minivans. The statistics the Covert owner sites are correct. Is his logic faulty? Why or why not? [B]Faulty.[/B] There are hundreds of times more minivans on the road than Corvettes, so we expect more deaths even if they are the safest car on the road.

If the speed of an aeroplane is reduced by 40km/hr, it takes 20 minutes more to cover 1200m. Find the time taken by aeroplane to cover 1200m initially. We know from the distance formula (d) using rate (r) and time (t) that: d = rt Regular speed: 1200 = rt Divide each side by t, we get: r = 1200/t Reduced speed. 20 minutes = 60/20 = 1/3 of an hour.
