A = price of the desktop
b = price of the laptop
now, we know the laptop was more expensive than the desktop by 250 bucks, thus
b = a + 250.
for "a", he paid 8.5% in interest, for "b", he paid 5% in interest.
how much is 8.5% of a? well (8.5/100) * a, or
0.085a.
how much is 5% of b? well, (5/100) * b, or
0.05b.
now, we know the total charges for financing were $296, that means the interest paid in total was 296, thus whatever "a" or "b" are, we know that 0.085a + 0.05b = 296.

how much did the laptop cost? well, b = a + 250.
What's a midpoint I never learned what a midpoint is and this is not an answer
Answer:
The radius of the sphere, to the nearest cm:
cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The surface area of a sphere is given by the formula
A = 4πr²
where r is the radius of the sphere.
Given
- The surface area of sphere A = 5024 cm²
The radius of the sphere can be determined such as


Plug in Surface Area of sphere = 5024, π = 3.14 in the formula

cm
Therefore, the radius of the sphere, to the nearest cm:
cm
Answer:
1. -29/156 2. 38/45 3. 29/45 4. 113/24 or about 4.7 5. 457/1, 914/2, 1371/3
Step-by-step explanation:
3/13 - 5/12 can be simplified to 36/156 - 65/156. Subtract this and you get -29/156
4/9 + 2/5 can be simplified to 20/45 + 18/45. Add this and you get
38/45
5/8 - 2/9 can be simplified to 45/72 - 16/72. Subtract this and you get
29/45
3 1/2 + 2 5/12 can be first made irrational to 7/2 + 29/24. This can be simplified to 84/24 + 29/24
113/24 or about 4.7
Not sure about the 457, but to convert it, you multiply it by whatever denominator you have. For example
1x457 = 457/1
2x457 = 914/2
And finally 3x457 = 1371/3
I believe the correct answer would be 134.23568, forgive me if I am wrong
