Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the age of wise man

3 time his age = 3x

400 reduced by 3 times his age  = 400 - 3x

400 - 3x = 163

-3x = 163 - 400

-3x = -237

x = -237/-3

x = 79 years

A guy wire supports an antenna tower, as shown at the right. The bottom of the wire is secured in the ground 30 feet from the ba
babunello [35]

Answer:

The wire is approximately 42feet long

Step-by-step explanation:

We can mentally sketch out the shape that is formed between the guy wire and the antenna tower. This is simply a right-angled triangle with the opposite side being the height of the antenna (30 feet). The adjacent side is the distance on the ground between the point where the wire was fastened and the base of the antenna.

The hypotenuse side is the length of the wire we are looking for.

Parameters are given as:

Opposite : 30ft

Adjacent: 30ft

Hypotenuse: x feet

The hypotenuse = \sqrt{opp^2 + adj^2}

Hypotenuse =\sqrt{30^2+ 30^2} \approx 42ft

Flauer [41]

Answer: a. 13120

b. 4100

c. 1025

d. 3280

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) find the costs price of the fridge

Since the cash price is 20% less the hire purchase price, then the cost of the fridge will be:

= (100% - 20%) × 16400

= 80% × 16400

= 0.8 × 16400

= 13120

(b) calculate the deposit

Since 25% is paid as deposit, the deposit will be:

= 25% × 16400

= 0.25 × 16400

= 4100

(c) what is the monthly installments

Monthly installments will be:

= (16400 - 4100)/12

= 12300/12

= 1025

(d) what is the differences between the cash price and the hire purchase price.

This will be:

Hire purchase price = 16400

Cash price = 13120

= 16400 - 13120

= 3280
