TYLER

1. Bank A: $1240

2. Bank B: $1194.05

3. Choose Bank A, simple interest at higher rate

TYLER'S MOM

1. Bank A: $2200

2. Bank B: $2427.26

3. Choose Bank B, compound interest at lower rate

4. The simple interest rate at 4% is better for Tyler, but the compound interest rate at 3% is better for Tyler's mom. Simple interest is calculated on the principal. Compound interest is calculated on the principal and the other interest that was earned. Over a longer period of time, the investment worth after compound interest will be worth more, even if the interest rate is lower. Since Tyler's mom has more time for her investment than Tyler, compound interest at a lower rate is more advantageous to her.

Explanation:

For this problem, you need the formula to calculate amount after simple interest A = P(1 + rt)

"A" for amount (final worth of investment)

"P" for principal (starting investment)

"r" for interest rate in decimal form

"t" for time in years

You also need the formula for amount after compound interest A = P(1 + i)ⁿ

"A" for amount

"P" for principal

"i" for interest per compounding period, calculated using i = r/c

"n" for number of compounding periods, calculated by n = tc

"c" means how often interest is calculated. (Ex: annually = 1; quarterly = 4)

To solve the problems, substitute the known values into the equations.

FOR TYLER: P = 1000; t = 6

1. Use simple interest formula. r = 4% = 0.04  (converted to decimals)

A = P(1 + rt)

A = 1000(1 + (0.04)(6))     Substituted known values

A = 1000(1 + 0.24)         Solved multiplication within brackets

A = 1000(1.24)             Solved addition within brackets

A = 1240              Bank A future investment worth

Tyler's investment would be worth $1240 in Bank A.

2. Use compound interest formula. r = 3% = 0.03  (converted to decimals)

Calculate "i" and "n" inside the formula.

A = P(1 + i)^{n}

A = 1000(1 + (\frac{r}{c}))^{tc}  c = 1 because interest is calculated annually

A = 1000(1 + 0.03)^{6}      Substituted known values.

A = 1000(1.03)^{6}       Solved within brackets first.

A = 1194.05            Rounded 1194.0523 to two decimal places

Tyler's investment would be worth $1194.05 in Bank B.

3. Tyler should place the $1000 he is saving for college in Bank A because he will have more money.

Bank A > Bank B

1240 > 1194.05

FOR TYLER'S MOM P = 1000; t = 30

1. Use simple interest formula. r = 4% = 0.04  (converted to decimals)

A = P(1 + rt)

A = 1000(1 + (0.04)(30))    Substituted known values

A = 1000(1 + 1.2)       Solved multiplication within brackets first

A = 1000(2.2)     Solved addition within brackets

A = 2200

Tyler's mom's investment would be worth $2200 from Bank A.

2. Use compound interest formula. r = 3% = 0.03  (converted to decimals)

Calculate "i" and "n" inside the formula.

A = P(1 + i)^{n}

A = 1000(1 + (\frac{r}{c}))^{tc}  c = 1 because interest is calculated annually

A = 1000(1 + 0.03)^{30}     Substituted known values

A = 1000(1.03)^{30}      Solved within brackets first

A = 2427.26     Rounded 2427.26247 to two decimal places

Tyler's mom's investment would be worth $2427.26 from Bank B.

3. Tyler's mom should place the $1000 she is saving for retirement in Bank B because she will have more money.

Bank A < Bank B

2200 < 2427.26

4. The simple interest rate at 4% is better for Tyler, but the compound interest rate at 3% is better for Tyler's mom. Simple interest is calculated on the principal. Compound interest is calculated on the principal and the other interest that was earned. Over a longer period of time, the investment worth after compound interest will be worth more, even if the interest rate is lower. Since Tyler's mom has more time for her investment than Tyler, compound interest at a lower rate is more advantageous to her.

Answer: 440 grams for 1.54 is the better value
Explanation:
Take the price and divide by the number of grams
1.54 / 440 =0.0035 per gram
1.26 / 340 =0.003705882 per gram
0.0035 per gram < 0.003705882 per gram
