(i) Challenge: Thembi received 8% discount on an item which cost

Paul [167]

Answer:

$x = 0.25$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Cost\ Price = 6 + x$

$Discount =8\%$

$Amount\ Paid = R6 - x$

Required

Find x

First, we calculate the amount paid in terms of the cost price.

This is calculated using:

$Amount\ Paid = Cost\ Price * (100\% - Discount)$

$Amount\ Paid = (6 + x) * (100\% - 8\%)$

$Amount\ Paid = (6 + x) * 92\%$

Express as decimal

$Amount\ Paid = (6 + x) * 0.92$

Open bracket

$Amount\ Paid = 5.52 + 0.92x$

So, we have:

$Amount\ Paid = 5.52 + 0.92x$ and

$Amount\ Paid = R6 - x$ ---- given

Equate both

$6 - x = 5.52 + 0.92x$

Collect like terms

$- x -0.92x= 5.52-6$

$-1.92x= -0.48$

$1.92x= 0.48$

Solve for x

$x = \frac{0.48}{1.92}$

$x = 0.25$

1. Jeremy has $12000 cash to invest in the bank compounded at 4% interest annually.

gavmur [86]

Answer:

$A(x) = 12000(1.04)^x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound interest:

The compound interest formula is given by:

$A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

Where A(t) is the amount of money after t years, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year and t is the time in years for which the money is invested or borrowed.

$12000 cash

This means that $P = 12000$
