You just inherited $27,000 after taxes. You decide to open a savings account that has an interest rate of 1.8% compounded monthly. How much would you have after 5 years?

-2

7 - 9 = -2

reversed:

-2 + 9 = 7

answer: 42

use a calculator to find that 845/73 = 11.575

the whole part of the answer is 11. multiply this by 73 to get 11*73 = 803.

subtract that result from 845 to get 845 - 803 = 42

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.
