Question 1

Let the answer of Question 1 be represented by Q1. To obtain the yearly simple interest
rate, i (given as a decimal), at which Mitch reinvested his money four years ago, one has to
use the following formula:
28 431,91−𝑄1
[1] 𝑖 = 𝑄1×3
28 431,91−14 950
[2] 𝑖 =
14 950×4
28 431,91−14 950
[3] 𝑖 = 𝑄1×3
28 431,91−𝑄1
[4] 𝑖 = 𝑄1×4
