The Hydro water department has a monthly service charge of $13.90 and a volume charge of $1.45 for every 100 cubic feet of water

.
The total monthly cost is equal to the service charge plus the charge for the volume used during the month. If we let x represent the number of cubic feet of water (in hundreds) and y represent the total monthly cost, then we have:
total monthly cost = volume charge + service charge
y = 1.45x + 13.90

If the Johnson family used 200 ft3 more water this month than last month, then they can expect
A. an increase in their water bill of $2.90.

B. an increase in their water bill of $27.80.

C. a decrease in their water bill of $2.90.

D. a decrease in their water bill of $27.80.

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, you can disregard the initial $13.90 cost because we're only looking for an INCREASE in price. If the Johnson family used 200 cubic feet MORE of water, we need to multiply 2 * 1.45 which gets us 2.90. We multiply 2 by 1.45 because 200 represented in x is 2, since x is represented in hundreds.

A vehicle is purchased for $18,000, with a down payment of $6,098. The balance in financed for three years at an annual rate of
mestny [16]
The Present value of an annuity is given by PV = P(1 - (1 + r/t)^-nt)/(r/t)
where: P is the monthly payment, r is the annual rate = 7% = 0.07, t is the number of periods in one year = 12 and n is the number of years = 3.

18,000 - 6,098 = P(1 - (1 + 0.07/12)^-(3 x 12)) / (0.07/12)
11,902 = P(1 - (1 + 0.07/12)^-36) / (0.07/12)
P = 0.07(11,902) / 12(1 - (1 + 0.07/12)^-36) = 367.50

Therefore, monthly payment = $367.50
