Manuela should put $23,985.24 into an 18 month CD.

Step-by-step explanation:

Manuela wants to have $26,000 in 18 months CD that earns simple interest of 5.6% a year calculated semiannually.

Since it is simple interest so in 18 months (1.5 years)  it will earn = 5.6 × 1.5 = 8.4%.

Formula for Simple interest

A = P( 1 + rt)

A = amount ( 26,000 )

P = Principal  ( we have to find out )

r = Rate of interest in decimal 8.4% ( 0.084 )

t = time ( 1 )

Let the principal amount be x

Now we put the values in formula to find the value of x.

26,000 = x ( 1 + 0.084 × 1 )

26,000 = x ( 1.084 )

x =

x = 23,985.23985 rounded to 23,985.24

Manuela should put $23,985.24 into an 18 month CD.

the correct answer is x/3+10≥32

hope this !
