The correct answer is A. 1.5 cups
Explanation:
The total of polishing wooden furniture is equivalent to the total of olive oil plus the total of lemon juice. Additionally, in this case, the result should be given in cups. First, let's consider the values given.
50% of a cup of lemon juice + 25% of a quart with olive oil
The first quantity 50% of a cup of lemon indicates half cup of lemon was added, which is equivalent to 0.5 cups as 1 cup = 100% of a cup and 50% is the half.
Now, the second quantity is provided in quarts, which is not the same as a cup. Indeed 1 quart is equivalent to 4 cups, which represents 100%. This means 100% = 4 cups. Now, to calculate the 25% follow this procedure.
1. Write the values
4 = 100 (total percentage)
x = 25 (percentage to be calculated
2. Solve this by using cross multiplication
x100 = 4 × 25
x100 = 100
x = 100 ÷ 100
x = 1 (cups in 25%)
This means 1 cup of olive oil was added and this plus 0.5 cup of lemon juice is equivalent to 1.5 cups of solution.

Answer: 58 months
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of month to pay off the loan
$25,000 - $15,000 + $25x = 200x
Now it is simple algebra
10,000+25x= 200x Subtract 25 x from both sides
10,000 = 175x
x=57.14 month so Really 58 months till they pay it off
