idk how to do it hoenstly

polar hull
#

because you have 4% for the first year, then 1% for the other years (2 because you have 2 remaining years / 3)

placid iris
#

or like

#

5000 x 1.004^3?

#

idkk

placid iris
polar hull
#

for the first year, it's just 5000 x 1.04

placid iris
#

okay

#

do i cube the percent

polar hull
#

then you have 2 more years

#

so we then take the new percentage we work with

#

which is gonna be 1%, which is 1.01

#

so then because it's 2 more years

placid iris
#

1.04 x 5000 = 5200

#

and then 1.01^2 x 5000 = 5100.50

#

wiat im confused bank a makes less money

polar hull
#

just trynna remember how to do this

#

been a good while

placid iris
#

its okay

#

5100.5 = 5100.50 right

polar hull
#

yeah

placid iris
#

okay

polar hull
#

oh it's 1% based on the amount you get in the first year

placid iris
#

huhhh

polar hull
#

so 5200 x 1.01²

placid iris
#

for the first year of brank b

#

okay

polar hull
#

wait she doesn't

placid iris
#

wait for the 2nd one

#

huhh

#

so its 1.04 x 5000 = 5200 for 1st one fright and then 1.01^2 x 5200 is 5304.52 but idk cause bank a is uspposed to make more

polar hull
#

oh wait no I didn't read the flipping question 😭

placid iris
#

😭😭😭

#

ohhhh

polar hull
#

okay let me explain

placid iris
#

ok

polar hull
#

Bank A:

2.5% for 3 years

therefore 5000 × 1.025³

placid iris
#

yeahh

#

i got 5384 .45

polar hull
#

2.5 sorry

#

yes 5384.45

#

then bank b:
4% for the first year
5000 × 1.04 = 5200

placid iris
#

mhm

polar hull
#

for the remaining 2 years

#

1%

placid iris
#

1.01^2 x 5200?

polar hull
#

so 5200 x 1.01² = 5304.52

placid iris
#

okay

polar hull
#

therefore you can find the difference

#

and that is how much more A gives you

placid iris
#

do i add the 1st yr and all the other yrds

#

in bnak b

polar hull
#

we used the answer to the 1st year as the number we multiply by the percentage^n for the remaining 2 years

placid iris
#

so i justy minus a with all othe ryrds one

polar hull
#

because it's compounded

polar hull
placid iris
#

79.83

#

93

#

thankssss
