Respuesta :

Given:

a.) Abdul opened an investment account with $5400.

b.) At the end of the year, the amount in the account had decreased by 29%.

QUESTION A:

Since it is said that the account had decreased by 29%, the remaining percentage of the original amount will be:

Remaining percentage = 100% - 29% = 71%

Therefore, completing the statement, it will be:

Year-end amount = 71% × Original Amount

QUESTION B:

The year-end amount will be:

[tex]\text{ Year-end amount = }\frac{71}{100}\text{ x Original Amount}[/tex][tex]\text{ = 0.71 x 5,400}[/tex][tex]\text{ Year-emd amount = \$3,834}[/tex]

Therefore, the year-end amount is $3,834.
