Let x be the number of hours she jogs, and y be the number of hours she bikes.
The total time would then be x + y = 5
The total distance (based on the given speeds) would be 6x + 12y = 50
Multiply the first equation by 6 to get 6x + 6y = 30
Subtract this from the second equation to get 6y = 20
y = 10/3 or 3 1/3
Substitute this value back into the first equation to get x = 5/3 or 1 2/3
Therefore, Yolanda will have to jog 1 2/3 hours and bike 3 1/3 hours.

Courtney would like to buy a new ca in 4 years. It is estimated that a new car will cost her 25,000 and that she will get 13,000
KiRa [710]

4 years=48 months

A new car costs 25,000, but she will get 13,000 for her used car as long as she takes good car of it. If she takes good care of her used car and gets 13,000 for it, she will only need to save 12,000 total. We can divide 12,000 by 48 to find out how much Courtney should save minimum each month to afford her new car. 12,000/48=250

You can check to see if this is correct by multiplying 48*250=12,000. Paying 250 for each month of the 48 months will equal the $12,000 that Courtney needs.

Courtney needs to save at least $250 per month to afford her new car in 4 years.

I hope this helps :)
