Rate of Intereft = 3 £. 145. 3 d. 4 per Cent. per Annum, and the Annuity required 92. 16 s. 10d.. And thus it is, alfo, answered

by Mefirs. 7. Addifon, T. Barker, J. Bennett, T. Bofworth, N. Brotunell, . Buddie, J. Dalby, Nujo Dargnas, W. Dent, W. Dixon, 7. Dymond, T. Hague, E. Jones, G. Lodge, J. Nordon, J. Probert, W. Rawle, T. Robinson, J. Roper, A Rowe, W. Servell, P. Sharp,. C. Smith, W. Spicer, W. Stoker, T. Todd, S. Vince and J. Toung.. very nearly.

Pamphagus obferves that "fince the Annuity for born 5 Years amounts "to 500. and when forborn 10 Years to 1100. it is manifeft that "the Intereft of 500 £. for 5 Years must be = 100. Therefore the "Rate per Cent. will be eafily found 3. 145. 3 d. 4.19; and "thence, by a well known Theorem, the Annuity 92 £. 16 s. 10d. I .76."—And, from this Confideration of the Matter, Meffrs. Jer. Ainfworth and W. Wales have, likewife, answered it.

Join the Points A, I and B, 1: Then, in the A AIB the Sides being given, the LABI is found 36° 52′ 12′′; which taken from the ABC (found 71° 48' 18", from the right angled A ACB) leaves 34° 56′ 6′′ L. IBD: Whence, from the right-angled AIDB, is found I D 4.5811; and therefore the Segment in the greater Cir. is 9.1622 &c. and that in the *NOTE, This ingenious Gent. intends, shortly, to favour the Public with a new, complete Courfe of the Mathematics in 8vo. a Thing very much wanted; and whereof the 1st and 2d Vols, are already published.

CALCULA, In the AAPT are given PT, TA together with their included Angle, whence AP is found 41.6694, and the L APT 1 90° 29', nearly; from which take the APC (found 53° 8', from the right-angled A ACP) and the Remainder 37° 21 (CPT) taken from the NPT ( 50° 37° 1, per. Confruc.) leaves the NPC 13° 15'4 the Variation required, which is Wefterly.
