Growth Rate Total Growth Rate –N–November sales were $4000, December sales were $4500, what is the growth rate?

Interest Rates Compound Interest –$–$400 in savings, 3% interest, what is the interest for the year compounded semiannually (2 times per year), what is the interest for the year? $400 x.03 = $12 for a year $12 x ½ a year = $6 $400 + $6 = $406 $406 x.03 = $12.18 for a year $12.18 x ½ a year = $6.09 $6 for first half of year + $6.09 for second half of year = $12.09
