is the equivalent to "five to the third power"
Answer:
$110.37
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the monthly payment is made at the beginning of the month, the formula for the monthly payment P that gives future value A will be ...
... A = P(1+r/12)((1+r/12)^(nt) -1)/(r/12) . . . . n=compoundings/year, t=years
... 14000 = P(1+.11/12)((1+.11/12)^(12·7) -1)/(.11/12)
... 14000 = P(12.11)((1+.11/12)^84 -1)/0.11 ≈ P·126.84714 . . . . fill in the given values
... P = 14000/126.84714 = 110.37 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of P
They should deposit $110.37 at the beginning of each month.
Subtract the fee from the total:
131- 35.50 = 95.50
Now divide that by the price per mile:
95.50/ 0.40 = 238.75
They drove 238.74 miles
