Answer:
340 in 5 years
Step-by-step explanation:
I set it up as a fraction so I could find 14% of 200.
14/100 = x/200
Then I cross multiplied
100x = 2800
Simplify
x=28
Twenty-eight is 14% of 200. Multiply 28 by 5.
28 x 5 = 140
Add 140 to 200
340
Answer:
340
Step-by-step explanation: 200 * .14 = 28 then 28*5= 140 then 140+200=340
