Question: p = ?
Statement 1: During the term of the certificate, he earns $18 more than he would if the interest were not compounded.
Term of deposit is unknown hence
NOT SUFFICIENT
Statement 2: He withdraws all the money six months after depositing it
no information about the interest earned hence
NOT SUFFICIENT
Combining the statements
i.e. \(\frac{10000*p*(0.5)}{100} + 18 = 10000*[1+ \frac{(0.25*p)}{100}]^2\)
Only one unknown hence
SUFFICIENT
