Part A:
1st month: Interest payable = 1% of $5,000 = $50.00
Amount paid in first month = $250 + $50.00 = $300
Unpaid balance = $5,000 - $250 = $4,750

2nd month: Interest payable = 1% of $4,750 = $47.50
Amount paid in second month = $250 + $47.50 = $297.50
Unpaid balance = $4,750 - $250 = $4,500

3rd month: Interest payable = 1% of $4,500 = $45.00
Amount paid in third month = $250 + $45.00 = $295.00
Unpaid balance = $4,500 - $250 = $4,250

4th month: Interest payable = 1% of $4,250 = $42.50
Amount paid in fouth month = $250 + $42.50 = $292.50
Unpaid balance = $4,250 - $250 = $4,000

5th month: Interest payable = 1% of $4,000 = $40.00
Amount paid in fifth month = $250 + $40.00 = $290.00
Unpaid balance = $4,000 - $250 = $3,750

6th month: Interest payable = 1% of $3,750 = $37.50
Amount paid in sixth month = $250 + $37.50 = $287.50
Unpaid balance = $3,750 - $250 = $3,500

7th month: Interest payable = 1% of $3,500 = $35.00
Amount paid in seventh month = $250 + $35.00 = $285.00
Unpaid balance = $3,500 - $250 = $3,250

8th month: Interest payable = 1% of $3,250 = $32.50
Amount paid in eighth month = $250 + $32.50 = $282.50
Unpaid balance = $3,250 - $250 = $3,000

9th month: Interest payable = 1% of $3,000 = $30.00
Amount paid in ninth month = $250 + $30.00 = $280.00
Unpaid balance = $3,000 - $250 = $2,750

10th month: Interest payable = 1% of $2,750 = $27.50
Amount paid in fouth month = $250 + $27.50 = $277.50
Unpaid balance = $2,750 - $250 = $2,500

11th month: Interest payable = 1% of $2,500 = $25.00
Amount paid in seventh month = $250 + $25.00 = $275.00
Unpaid balance = $2,500 - $250 = $2,250

12th month: Interest payable = 1% of $2,250 = $22.50
Amount paid in eighth month = $250 + $22.50 = $272.50
Unpaid balance = $2,250 - $250 = $2,000



Part B:
Number of payments = 5000 / 250 = 20
Total amount of interest = 50 + 47.5 + 45 + . . . + upto the 20th payment.
This is an arithmetic sequence with the first term as 50, common difference as -2.5 and number of terms = 20.

Sum of the first 20th term of the GP is given by
S_n= \frac{20}{2}[2(50)+(20-1)(-2.5)] \\  \\ =10(100-2.5(19))=10(100-47.5) \\  \\ =10(52.5)=\$525.00

Therefore, the <span>total amount of interest paid over the term of the loan is $525.00</span>

Can somebody please solve this? It's a coordinate thingy
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Coordinates involve two points. (x,y)

Too find a pair (coordinate), use the x and y lines on the graph and see where the point falls.

For example

Point A is number <em>1</em><em> </em><em>on</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>y</em><em> </em><em>axis</em>

<em>number</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em>4</em><em> </em><em>on</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>x</em><em> </em><em>axis</em>

<em>So</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>you</em><em> </em><em>would</em><em> </em><em>write</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>coordinate</em><em> </em><em>out</em><em> </em><em>at</em><em> </em>

<em>(</em><em>-</em><em>4</em><em>,</em><em>1</em><em>)</em>

The y axis values are the second point, so after you plot all of letters, use the y axis numbers and number them from least to greatest so you can find the mystery word.

Increase 840 in the ratio 2 : 3​
Iteru [2.4K]

Ratios be 2x and 3x

\\ \rm\longmapsto 2x+3x=840

\\ \rm\longmapsto 5x=840

\\ \rm\longmapsto x=\dfrac{840}{5}

\\ \rm\longmapsto x=168

Now

  • 2x=2(168)=336
  • 3x=3(168)=508

Global mean temperature was changing the most rapidly in 2005. How quickly was the temperature changing in 2005
AysviL [449]

The temperature was changing at a rate of 2.925 degrees Celsius in 2005

<h3>How to determine the rate in 2005</h3>

From the graph (see attachment), we have the following ordered pair

(x,y) = (5,14.625)

The above means that, the temperature in 2005 is 14.625 degrees Celsius

So, the rate in 2005 is:

Rate = \frac{14.625}{5}

Rate = 2.925

Hence, the temperature was changing at a rate of 2.925 degrees Celsius in 2005
