Michelle's age = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know,

Amount = Michelle s father deposited <img src= where

P = Principal amount

r = rate of interest

t = time

Given ,

P = $1000

r = 4.5 % = Michelle s father deposited <img src=

Now,

Given that Amount reaches more than $2000

Michelle s father deposited <img src=  > 2000

Michelle s father deposited <img src= > 2000

Michelle s father deposited <img src= > 2

Now,

we put the value of t from 0 , 1, 2, ..... untill the above equation does not satisfy

Now,

for t = 0

Michelle s father deposited <img src=

for t = 1

Michelle s father deposited <img src=

for t = 2

Michelle s father deposited <img src=

for t = 3

Michelle s father deposited <img src=

for t = 4

Michelle s father deposited <img src=

for t = 5

Michelle s father deposited <img src=

for t = 6

Michelle s father deposited <img src=

for t = 7

Michelle s father deposited <img src=

for t = 8

Michelle s father deposited <img src=

for t = 9

Michelle s father deposited <img src=

for t = 10

Michelle s father deposited <img src=

for t = 11

Michelle s father deposited <img src=  

for t = 12

Michelle s father deposited <img src=

for t = 13

Michelle s father deposited <img src=

for t = 14

Michelle s father deposited <img src=  

for t = 15

Michelle s father deposited <img src=

for t = 16

Michelle s father deposited <img src=

It satisfies at t= 16

∴ we get

Michelle's age = 16

Michelle's age = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know,

Amount = P (1 + r)^{t} where

P = Principal amount

r = rate of interest

t = time

Given ,

P = $1000

r = 4.5 % = \frac{4.5}{100} = 0.045

Now,

Given that Amount reaches more than $2000

P (1 + r)^{t}  > 2000

1000(1 + 0.045)^{t} > 2000

(1.045)^{t} > 2

Now,

we put the value of t from 0 , 1, 2, ..... untill the above equation does not satisfy

Now,

for t = 0

(1.045)^{0} = 1 \ngeq 2

for t = 1

(1.045)^{1} = 1.045 \ngeq 2

for t = 2

(1.045)^{2} = 1.092 \ngeq 2

for t = 3

(1.045)^{3} = 1.14 \ngeq 2

for t = 4

(1.045)^{4} = 1.19 \ngeq 2

for t = 5

(1.045)^{5} = 1.25 \ngeq 2

for t = 6

(1.045)^{6} = 1.30 \ngeq 2

for t = 7

(1.045)^{7} = 1.36 \ngeq 2

for t = 8

(1.045)^{8} = 1.42 \ngeq 2

for t = 9

(1.045)^{9} = 1.48 \ngeq 2

for t = 10

(1.045)^{10} = 1.55 \ngeq 2

for t = 11

(1.045)^{11} = 1.62 \ngeq 2  

for t = 12

(1.045)^{12} = 1.69 \ngeq 2

for t = 13

(1.045)^{13} = 1.77 \ngeq 2

for t = 14

(1.045)^{14} = 1.85 \ngeq 2  

for t = 15

(1.045)^{15} = 1.93 \ngeq 2

for t = 16

(1.045)^{16} = 2.02   2

It satisfies at t= 16

∴ we get

Michelle's age = 16

0. $1,000  1. $1,045  2. $1,092.03  3. $1,141.17  4. $1,192.52. 5. $1,246.18     6. $1,302.26  7. $1,360.86  8. $1,422.10

Step-by-step explanation:

First you start with the beginning balance of $1,000 dollars, then you multiply that by 1.045 to get $1,045 dollars after one year. Then you multiply $1,045 by 1.045 to get $1,092.025 (monetarily correct, it would be $1,092.03) after the second year. Then you multiply $1,092.025 (keeping it un-rounded for precision) by 1.045 to get $1,141.16612 after the third year. Then you multiply $1141.16612 by 1.045 to get $1,192.5186 after the fourth year. Multiply $1,192.5186 by 1.045 to get $1,246.18193 after the fifth year. Multiply $1,246.18193 by 1.045 to get $1,302.26012 after the sixth year. Multiply $1,302.26012 by 1.045 to get $1,360.86182 after the seventh year. Multiply $1,360.86182 by 1.045 to get $1,422.10061 after the eighth year. Basically, Michelle is going to be a trust fund baby by the time she's twenty and she won't have to worry about college if she works hard and does well in high school.

Let the father's age be x and son's be y

10 years before-

Father age=x-10

sons age=y-10

Given,

x-10=10(y-10)

x-10=10y-100

Given present age of father=40

therefore,

x=40

40-10=10y-100

10y-100=30

10y=130

y=130/10

y=13

Therefore present age of son=13years
