Answer: it cost a customer $7.25 to buy five tulips and $10.5 to buy six roses.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of 1 tulip.

Let y represent the cost of 1 rose.

The price of each tulip is the same and the price of each roses the same. One customer bought seven tulips and nine roses for $25.90. This means that

7x + 9y = 25.9 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Another customer bought for four tulips and eight roses for $19.80. This means that

4x + 8y = 19.8- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2

Multiplying equation 1 by 4 and equation 2 by 7, it becomes

28x + 36y = 103.6

28x + 56y = 138.6

Subtracting, it becomes

- 20y = - 35

y = - 35/ - 20

y = 1.75

Substituting y = 1.75 into equation 2, it becomes

4x + 8 × 1.75 = 19.8

4x + 14 = 19.8

4x = 19.8 - 14 = 5.8

x = 5.8/4

x = 1.45

The cost of 5 tulips would be

1.45 × 5 = $7.25

The cost of 6 roses would be

1.75 × 6 = $10.5

Gertrude takes out a $5,500 subsidized stafford loan, which must be paid back in ten years. gertrude will graduate four years af
Leno4ka [110]

The total amount of interest will Gertrude pay by the time the subsidized Stafford loan is repaid is $2094.80.

<h3>What is compound interest?</h3>

Compound interest is the amount charged on the principal amount and the accumulated interest with a fixed rate of interest for a time period.

The formula for the final amount with the compound interest formula can be given as,

A=P\times\left(1+\dfrac{r}{n\times100}\right)^{nt}\\

Here, A is the final amount (principal plus interest amount) on the principal amount P of with the rate<em> r </em>of in the time period of <em>t.</em>

Gertrude will graduate four years after taking out the loan. if the loan has an interest rate of 6.8%, compounded monthly, and Gertrude makes monthly payments.

Put the values in the above formula as,

5500=P_{mt}\times\left(1-\dfrac{6.8}{12\times100}\right)^{-12\times10}\\P_{mt}=63.29

In the 10 years, the refund she gets,

A_r=63.29\times12\times100\\A_r=7594.8

Interest paid by her is,

I=7594.8-5500\\I=2094.8

Thus, the total amount of interest will Gertrude pay by the time the subsidized Stafford loan is repaid is $2094.80.
