Answer: 21.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Rounding 15.89: Find the number in the tenth place 8 and look one place to the right for the rounding digit 9 . Round up if this number is greater than or equal to 5 and round down if it is less than 5 . = 15.9

Rounding 5.557: Find the number in the tenth place 5 and look one place to the right for the rounding digit 5 . Round up if this number is greater than or equal to 5 and round down if it is less than 5 . = 5.6

Sum up 15.9+5.6 and get 21.5

Simple interest means an portion of the principal is added to the principal. In this case the 6% simple interest is will be only from the principal amount which is $800.

A. The finance charge or the interest is $48 ( 6% of $800).
B. The total amount to be repaid is $800 (principal amount) + $48 (6% interest) = $848.
C. To equally pay off the total amount every month, we simply divide $848 by 8 months. $848 / 8 months = $106. The monthly payment would be $106.

Answer:

$q=8.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the side lengths (AB) and (BC) is given. One is also given an expression for the side lengths of each of these sides. Set up a proportion to describe this scenario, then solve using cross products;

$\frac{AB}{BC}=\frac{3}{4}$
