First no. = x

x = 2 y + 5
x - 2 y = 5.........equation (i)

x + y - 1 = 16
x + y = 17............. equation(ii)

Solving Equation
x + y = 17
x - 2 y = 5

x = 2 y +5 
x = 2(4) + 5

The hire purchase price of a fridge is 16400. 25% is paid as deposit, the rest is spread over 12 equally monthly instalments. If
Flauer [41]

Answer: a. 13120

b. 4100

c. 1025

d. 3280

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) find the costs price of the fridge

Since the cash price is 20% less the hire purchase price, then the cost of the fridge will be:

= (100% - 20%) × 16400

= 80% × 16400

= 0.8 × 16400

= 13120

(b) calculate the deposit

Since 25% is paid as deposit, the deposit will be:

= 25% × 16400

= 0.25 × 16400

= 4100

(c) what is the monthly installments

Monthly installments will be:

= (16400 - 4100)/12

= 12300/12

= 1025

(d) what is the differences between the cash price and the hire purchase price.

This will be:

Hire purchase price = 16400

Cash price = 13120

= 16400 - 13120

= 3280
