X= purchase price


Multiply purchase price by sales tax % to equal the amount of sales tax.

(8.75% * x)= $15.75
convert % to decimal (8.75% ÷ 100)

0.0875x= 15.75
divide both sides by 0.0875

x= $180.00 purchase price


ANSWER: The purchase price is $180.00 (to nearest cent).

Hope this helps! :)

A company borrowed $25,000 at 3.5% and was charged $2,625 in interest. How long was it before the company repaid the money?

Hello

3 years. Since no mention of compounding was made I will assume that it's 3.5% simple interest. So first, let's calculate what percent of the entire loan was interest. Just a simply matter of division. 2625 / 25000 = 0.105 = 10.5% Now lets' divide the percentage of the loan that was paid in interest by the interest rate. 10.5% / 3.5% = 3 So the company took 3 years to repay the loan.

Complete the conjecture based on the pattern you observe in the examples below:
Paul [167]

Step-by-step explanation:

the writing and spacing of the problem description is difficult to understand.

but there is no mystery. look at the examples.

all of them

3×5 = 15 = 16 - 1 = 4² - 1

4×6 = 24 = 25 - 1 = 5² - 1

5×7 = 35 = 36 - 1 = 6² - 1

6×8 = 48 = 49 - 1 = 7² - 1

7×9 = 63 = 64 - 1 = 8² - 1

8×10 = 80 = 81 - 1 = 9² - 1

so, what does this look like ?

(x-1)×(x+1) is always equal to (x² - 1)
