Answer:

let the two numbers be x and y

x+y=45(equation 1)

x-y=5(equation 2)

from equation (1) y=45-x(equation 3)

substitute 45-x for y in equation 2

x-(45-x)=5

x-45+x=5

x+x-45=5

2x-45=5

2x=45+5

2x=50

x=50/2

x=25

Your company has just taken out a 1-year installment loan for $72,500 at a nominal rate of 20.0% but with equal end-of-month pay

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

100% of the 2nd monthly payment go toward the repayment of principal.

Step-by-step explanation:

The loan taken is the Principal which is mentioned as $72,500 with interest at a nominal rate of 20%. Firstly, it is important to understand that nominal rate means non-compounding rate. Simply put will be a "one-time charged" rate on the loan. Since this is given as 20% of the Principal. It is calculated thus: $\frac{20}{100}$ × $\frac{72,500}{1}$ = $14,500. So the interest on the loan is $14,500. Added to the Principal the total amount to be paid back by the company becomes: $72,500 + $14,500 = $87,000. To pay back this amount at equal end-of-month installments in 1 year (12 months), we divide the total amount by 12. i.e $\frac{87000}{12}$ = $7250. This means, the monthly payment will be $7,250. Since the monthly payment pays only 10% of the initial principal $72,500. By the second month only 20% of the Principal would have been paid. So all of the monthly payment will go towards repaying the principal
