Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

If Fiona's age is x, Dan and Gavyn's ages respectively are x + 8 and x - 9. We can write:

x + x + 8 + x - 9 = 56

3x - 1 = 56

3x = 57

x = 19

The eldest is Dan (because x + 8 > x and x + 8 > x - 9). His age is x + 8 = 19 + 8 = 27.

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

$468.09

Step-by-step explanation:

first we must calculate the expected future value of the engine overhaul:

($390 x 10%) + ($570 x 30%) + ($750 x 50%) + ($790 x 10%) = $39 + $171 + $375 + $79 = $664

now we must determine the present value of $664 using a 6% interest rate:

PV = FV / (1 + r)⁶ = $664 / 1.06⁶ = $468.09
