You've got money in a bank account that compounds at a rate of 2% / year. You initially invest $10 000. After 2.7 years, they decide to lower the interest rate to 1.3%. How much money do you have after 5 years ?

Not sure how it works but, if I'm not wrong
Tax, like...the percent of tax changes after certain points

#

so if you want a real life problem, try computing the tax tables on most tax returns from the way it's written in the law

#

what do you think are the subfunctions in this problem?

₱300 per hour
what does this mean? like if you get a lesson for less than 3 hours?

#

i send a friend req

quasi gulch
#

civic lily
#

civic lily
#

ohh

#

alright

#

thanks

#

soo

#

that is my situational problem

quasi gulch
#

just found it kinda weird that if you stay for 2.9 hours, you end up paying more than if you stay for 3 hours

#

but maybe you have to book in integer numbers of hours
