Answer:

Let g represent the cost of gas and e represent the cost of electricity.

150g + 520e = 84.20  ⇒  7(150g + 520e = 84.20)   ⇒  1050g + 3640e = 576.80

210g + 405e = 82.35  ⇒ -5(210g + 405e = 82.35)  ⇒  -1050g - 2025e = -411.75

                                                                                                       1615e = 165.05

                                                                                                               e = 0.10

150g + 520(0.10) = 84.20

150g + 52 = 84.20

140g = 32.20

    g = 0.23

Answer: gas = $0.23, electricity = $0.10

What is the simple interest on $360 borrowed for 30 months at 12.3%
Alex_Xolod [135]
Keeping in mind that there are 12 months in a year, therefore, 30 months is really 30/12 years,

\bf ~~~~~~ \textit{Simple Interest Earned}\\\\
I = Prt\qquad 
\begin{cases}
I=\textit{interest earned}\\
P=\textit{original amount deposited}\to& \$360\\
r=rate\to 12.3\%\to \frac{12.3}{100}\to &0.123\\
t=years\to \frac{30}{12}\to &\frac{15}{6}
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
I=(360)(0.123)\left( \frac{15}{6} \right)\implies I=110.7
