so for bank b, how do you think you could work out the total you're gonna get
because you have 4% for the first year, then 1% for the other years (2 because you have 2 remaining years / 3)
idk do u work out htem indivduallyl then add them together
or like
5000 x 1.004^3?
idkk
exactly this
is this right
for the first year, it's just 5000 x 1.04
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
1.04 x 5000 = 5200
and then 1.01^2 x 5000 = 5100.50
wiat im confused bank a makes less money
yeah
okay
oh it's 1% based on the amount you get in the first year
huhhh
so 5200 x 1.01²
wait she doesn't
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
oh wait no I didn't read the flipping question 😭
what no
okay let me explain
ok
Bank A:
2.5% for 3 years
therefore 5000 × 1.025³
mhm
1.01^2 x 5200?
so 5200 x 1.01² = 5304.52
okay
we used the answer to the 1st year as the number we multiply by the percentage^n for the remaining 2 years
so i justy minus a with all othe ryrds one
because it's compounded
you do 5384.45 - 5304.52
