without looking, santiago took a handful of multi-colored candies from a bag and found that 20% of the candies were yellow and 15% were green.
suppose there were 480 candies in the bag.
questions to
based on santiago's results how many yellow candies would you expect there to be? green candies?
and lastly, how many more yellow candies would you expect there to be than the green candies?

the answer is 200

step-by-step explanation:

the way the question is worded, it seems to imply the $264 interest is simple interest, not compound interest.

the simple interest for 2 years is $264; the simple interest for 1 year is $132.

$132 interest on a $600 investment means an interest rate of (132/600)*100 = 22%.

the value of $200 at 22% interest compounded annually for three years is

200%281.22%29%5e3

the amount of interest is that value, minus the original $200.
