1 answer:

7 0

Let's say Mary's brother's age is x and Mary's age is y
(1) x = 3y - 5
(2) x + y = 39

Now if we substitute equation (1) into equation (2) we get:
3y - 5 + y = 39
4y = 44
y = 11

Therefor Mary is 11 years old

Find the amount paid for the loan. $2400 at 10.5% for 5 years

Oxana [17]

I think you mean the total mount paid for the loan.
There is a formula for that. (See attached).
principal = 2,400
n = number of payments = 5 * 12 months = 60
rate = 10.5 / 1,200 = .00875
Loan Cost Total = (r*p*n) / (1 - (1 +r)^-n)
Loan Cost Total = .00875 * 2,400 * 60 / (1 -(1.00875^-60)
Loan Cost Total = 1,260 / (1 - 0.5929077624 )
Loan Cost Total = 1,260 / 0.4070922376 
Loan Cost Total = 3,095.12

In how many different ways can the letters of the word 'CORPORATION' be arranged.

Komok [63]

Hey :)

The answer is 50400 ways

Because,
The word 'CORPORATION' has 11 letters.

It has the vowels 'O', 'O', 'A', 'I', 'O' in it and these 5 vowels should always come together.

These 5 vowels can be grouped and considered as a single letter. CRPRTN (OOAIO).

Hence we can assume total letters as 7. But in these 7 letters, 'R' occurs 2 times and rest of the letters are different.

Hope this helps!
