iren [92.7K]

Answer:

The company sold 100 widgets and 250 gizmos.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x_1 be the number of widgets sold and x_2 be the number of gizmos sold.

We are told that the company sold 350 items. We can represent this information in an equation as:

x_1+x_2=350...(1)

We have been given that a each widget sold for $35 and each gizmo sold for $22. The company sold 350 items for a total of $9,000.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

35x_1+22x_2=9,000...(2)

From equation (1), we will get:

x_2=350-x_1

Substitute this value in equation (2):

35x_1+22(350-x_1)=9,000

35x_1+7,700-22x_1=9,000

13x_1+7,700=9,000

13x_1+7,700-7,700=9,000-7,700

13x_1=1,300

\frac{13x_1}{13}=\frac{1,300}{13}

x_1=100

Therefore, the company sold 100 widgets.

Substitute x_1=100 in equation (1):

100+x_2=350

100-100+x_2=350-100

x_2=250

Therefore, the company sold 250 gizmos.

Marilyn uses a credit card with a 19.9% APR compounded monthly to pay for car repairs totaling $991.38. She can pay $410 per mon
Leokris [45]
Marilyn's finance charge at the end of the first month will be
  $991.38 × 0.199/12 = $16.44
The balance subject to the next month's finance charge will be
  $991.38 +16.44 -410.00 = $597.82

The finance charge at the end of the second month will be
  $597.82 × 0.199/12 = $9.91
The balance remaining after the second payment will be
  $597.82 +9.91 -410.00 = $197.73

The finance charge applied at the end of the third month is
  $197.73 × .199/12 = $3.28
so Marilyn can make one final payment of
  $197.73 +3.28 = $201.01
to pay off the balance.

In all, Marilyn has paid 2×$410.00 +201.01 = 
  $1021.01 . . . . . . . . corresponds to the first choice

_____
In real life, Marilyn's credit card may not accrue any finance charge until after the first statement on which the charge appears. Thus the total cost of the purchase may be only $1004.02. The attached spreadsheet shows the beginning balance and the finance charges for each month for the two different scenarios.
