Answer:
26%
Step-by-step explanation:
Your 36 monthly payments will total ...
36 × $205.10 = $7383.60
$5860 of that is the amount you borrowed. The remainder is the interest you pay:
$7383.60 -5860 = $1,523.60
As a percentage of the original loan amount this is ...
$1523.60/$5860 × 100% = 26%
You pay back 26% of the original loan amount in interest.
Answer:
The correct answer is:
(7s-2)+3+(s+3) = 52, or 8s+4 = 52.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since s is the son's age, "two less than seven times" the son's age would be represented by 7s-2. To represent this in 3 years, we would add 3: (7s-2)+3. In 3 years, the son's age, s, would be represented by s+3. We are told that the sum of these ages will be 52; this gives us (7s-2)+3+(s+3) = 52.
To simplify this, combine like terms. 7s+s = 8s; -2+3+3 = 4. This gives us 8s+4=52.
Answer: it will take 6 months for both gyms to cost the same.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let m represent the number of months that it will take for the cost of both gyms be the same.
At one gym, there is a $12 start-up fee, and after that each month, m, at the gym costs $20. This means that the total cost for m months is
12 + 20m
At another gym, each month at the gym costs $22. This means that the total cost for m months is 22m
For both costs to be the same, the number of months would be
12 + 20m = 22m
22m - 20m = 12
2m = 12
m = 12/2 = 6
28 : 12
or in reduced form
7 : 3
