Answer:

216 US dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount he earned for babysitting be x

He spent 1/4 of x on guitar=(1/4)×x=1/4x

He gave 1/4 of x to charity= (1/4)×x=1/4x

Equation 1

Total amount left=(Total amount earned -Total amount spent)

Total amount earned=x

Total amount spent=(Spent on Guitar+Spent on Charity)=(1/4x)+(1/4x)=1/2x=0.5x

Total amount left=108 US dollars

Substituting in equation 1

108=(x-0,5x)

Solving

0.5x/0.5=108/0.5

x=216 US dollars

He started with 216 US dollars

You make a $15 payment on your loan of $500 at the end of each month
lara [203]

Answer:

2.8 years or 33.6 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not sure what your questions is, but I assume it is how long it will take to pay it off?

In a year (15*12,) you would have paid $180 of it.

x = 500/180

Therefore, it will take you approximately 2.8 years to pay off your loan, excluding interest, of course, since you did not provide that rate.

Absolutely anything! It all depends on what the equation is. Variables can be any number with exception of 0 As a denominator. Otherwise pick anything as long as the end results come out to the number you are seeking.

If P(E) = 0.32, then what are the odds against E?
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

0.68 : 0.32

Step-by-step explanation:

the probability of all the outcomes of an event is always 1 .

if P(E) = 0.32,

P(E') = 1 - 0.32

= 0.68

N.B that P(E') is the same as P( not E ).

since your answer should be given in the ratio form, as the odds against E ( probability not E : probability E),

P(E') : P(E)

0.68 : 0.32

hope this helps you!
