Hello,

First you have to multiply $275,000 x 30 x 6% = $495,000.

Solve for c R=5(c/a-0.3)

aalyn [17]

we have

$R=5(c/a-0.3)$

Solve for c--------> that means that clear variable c

Divide by $5$ both sides

$R/5=(c/a-0.3)$

Adds $0.3$ both sides

$(R/5)+0.3=(c/a)$

Multiply by $a$ both sides

$a[(R/5)+0.3]=c$

$c=a[(R/5)+0.3]$

therefore

the answer is

$c=a[(R/5)+0.3]$
