Bernardo is saving up money to pay off a debt. His father loaned him $90 and is charging him $1 interest each day. Bernardo earn
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

It will take 10 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the number of days it will take for Bernardo to clear the debt he owes his father.

We proceed as follows;

Let the number of days be x

So after x days, there will be an interest of x * 1 = $90

So the amount of money he owes his father after x days will be $(90 + x)

After x days, the amount he would have earned from mowing lawns will be x * 20 = $20x

He intend using half of this to clear the loan

Half of this is 20x/2 = $10x

We know that this amount is enough to clear the loan, so we equate this value to the amount he wants to use to clear the loan

So;

90 + x = 10x

90 = 10x - x

9x = 90

x = 90/9

x = 10

What is the underline value 28 the number 8 is underlined
Troyanec [42]
In the number 28, when 8 is underlined:

8 has the value of simply 8, because it is in the ones place.

Another example would be the 2 in the 8. If the 2 was underlined, because it is in the tens place, the underlined value will be 20

hope this helps
