Ten years ago, Mary invested $2500. Four years later, she invested $3000. Set up an equation that determines the current value of the two investments T(x) if each earns 10% annual interest per year. |
| |
|
A. |
T(x) = 2500(1.1)10 +
3000(1.1)4 |
B. |
T(x) = 3000(1.0)10 +
2500(1.1)4 |
| |
|
C. |
T(x) = 3000(1.0)10 +
2500(1.1)6 |
D. |
T(x) = 2500(1.1)10 +
3000(1.1)6 |
