Hello there! I can help you!

7. Okay. So the computer was originally $1,080, and the discount is 20%, but David would still have to pay 80% of the original price. To find the sale price, let's multiply. 1,080 * 80% (0.8) is 864. The sale price of the compuet is $864, but now we must add the sales tax to find the total price. We will multiply by 108%, because 100% (representing the price + 8% is 108%, and doing this will get us stright to the total price. 864 * 108% (1.08) is 933.12. There. David paid a total price of $933.12 for the computer.

8. Okay. So we are looking for the amount of discount for the sweater Suzanne bought. First off, let's subtract the prices to find the difference. 40 - 25 is 15. Now, let's divide that by 40 (the original price) to find the discount. 15/40 is 0.375. Or 37.5% when converted into a percentage. There. Suzanne received a 37.5% discount on the sweater when she bought it.

9. So the car was bought for x dollars. 0.88 represents 88%, so the value of the car is 88% of the previous year. An expression that is a way to describe the change in car value is x * (100 - 0.12)^t, because you car loses 12% of the remaining value each year, which leaves 88% of it remaining, and having the t as the exponent represents the number of years. That expression helps find the value of the car currently and can help you compare the values.

Mohammad divide Rs 82000 into two parts such that the amounts at 5% per annum compound interest in 2 years and 3 years are equal
lara [203]

Answer:

Rs 42000 and Rs 40000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Rs 82000 is divided into two parts.

Let the first part be Rs x which is compounded annually at the interest of 5% per annum for 2 years.

The rate of interest = 5%=0.05

The total amount after 2 years = x(1+0.05)^{2}\cdots(i)

The other part is Rs 82000-x which is compounded annually at the interest of 5% per annum for 3 years.

The total amount after 3 years = (82000-x)(1+0.05)^{3}\cdots(ii)

As both the amounts are equal, so from equation (i) and (ii)

x(1+0.05)^{2}=(82000-x)(1+0.05)^{3} \\\\x(1.05)^{2}=82000(1.05)^{3} -x(1.05)^{3} \\\\x(1.05^2+1.05^3)=82000\times 1.05^3 \\\\x(2.260125)=94925.25 \\\\x=94925.25/2.260125 \\\\

x= 42000

And the other part = 82000-42000 = Rs 40000

Hence, he divides the money as

Rs 42000 at 5% per annum compound interest in 2 years and

Rs 40000 at 5% per annum compound interest in 3 years.
