Question

Suppose Johnny invests $41,745 into an account, which has been earning interest for many years and he now has a total of $39,974. In two or more sentences explain why a negative number would/wouldn’t be reasonable in the solution of the rate of the investment.

Answer 1

It wouldn't go down it would go up because the longer the money has been untouched and in a savings account the investment goes up by interest. The only reason it could go down is if he touched the money.
