A Roth IRA is advertised to pay 1.5% annual interest. You researched the rate of inflation to be 1.15% this year. What is the actual or real rate of return on the IRA?

0.35%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Advertised interest rate = nominal rate = 1.5%

Inflation rate = 1.15%

The real rate of return is calculated by:

[(1 + nominal rate) / ( 1 + inflation rate)] - 1

[(1 + (1.5/100)) / (1 + (1.15/100))] - 1

[(1 + 0.015) / ( 1 + 0.0115)] - 1

[ 1.015 / 1.0115] - 1

1.0034602 - 1 = 0.0034602

Real rate of return = (0.0034602 * 100)%

Real rate of return = 0.346%

hi!

i believe that john has 55 pieces of candy left.

!

answer: 33 ( approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, in the linear regression formula, the slope is the a in the equation y = b + ax ( by comparing it with the general equation of line y = mx + c )

where,

here given table is,

price ($), x   :           18         23       25       29       30       33

pairs sold, y :         16         13         10       8         6       2

so, ,   ,   ,

and   ,

thus, slop of the given line is,

⇒  

⇒   ≈ 33
