Let x be the number of hours the master electrician works and y the numbers of hours his apprentice works.

The master electrician earns $62 per hour, which means that he earns 62x.
His apprentice earns $40 per hour, which means that he earns 40y.

Together they are paid $492, so we can get the equation:
62x + 40y = 492.

We know that the electrician worked 3 hours more than his apprentice. So he worked x = y + 3 hours. Now let's replace x by its new value in the previous equation.

62x + 40y = 492
62(y+3) + 40y = 492
62y + 186 + 40y = 492

Now we need to put variables apart and numbers apart, so we subtract 186 from both sides of the equation:
62y + 40y + 186 - 186 = 492 - 186
102y = 306

Now we divide both sides by 102
(102y)/102 = 306/102
y = 3

So the apprentice worked 3 hours.
As we already mentioned, the electrician worked 3 hours more than his apprentice.
So he worked x = y + 3 = 3+3 = 6 hours.

The master electrician earns $62 per hour. Since he worked 6 hours, he earns 62 * 6 = 372 dollars.

So the master electrician earns $372 (Option D)

Hope this helps! :)

VikaD [51]

Answer:

(a). $1465.42

(b). $214.58

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that installment Buying TV Town sells a big screen smart HDTV for $600 down and monthly payments of $30 for the next 3 years. The interest rate is 1.25% per month on the unpaid balance.

(a) To find the cost of the TV, we will use monthly payment formula.

R=\frac{Pi}{1-(1+i)^{-n}}, where,

R = Periodic payment,

P = Loan amount,

i = Monthly interest rate in decimal form,

n = Number of total payments.

n=3\times 12=36

1.25\%=\frac{1.25}{100}=0.0125

30=\frac{P*0.0125}{1-(1+0.0125)^{-36}}

30=\frac{0.0125P}{1-(1.0125)^{-36}}

30=\frac{0.0125P}{1-0.6394091578134724264}

30=\frac{0.0125P}{0.3605908421865275736}

10.817725265595827208=0.0125P

0.0125P=10.817725265595827208

P=\frac{10.817725265595827208}{0.0125}

P=865.41802124766617664

P\approx 865.42

We know that total cost of TV would be equal to down payment plus amount of loan that is:

865.42+600=1465.42

Therefore, the total cost of the TV would be $1465.42.

(b). First of all, we need to find total amount paid in 3 years by multiplying amount of each monthly payment by 36 (3 years equal to 36 months).

\$30\times 36=\$1080

To find the total amount of interest paid, we will subtract amount of loan from total payment.

\$1080-\$865.42=\$214.58

Therefore, the total amount paid in interest would be $214.58.
