Answer: The total amount paid ($5500) will be the same for both dealers after 20 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to solve this problem we have to write an equation using the information given:

  • Dealer 1  

Down payment: $2500

Monthly payment: $150

  • Dealer 2

Down payment: $3000

Monthly payment: $125

So, for both dealers, we have to multiply the monthly payment by the number of months (x ) and add the down payment.

Mathematically speaking

  • Dealer 1 amount = $2500+ $150x
  • Dealer 2 amount = $3000 +$125x  

Then, we equal both equations because the total amount has to be the same:

$2500 +$150x =$3000 +$125x

Solving:

$150x - $125x = $3000-$2500

$25x = $500

x = $500/ $25 =20 months

The total amount paid will be the same for both dealers after 20 months.

To calculate the amount simply replace "x" for the 20 months in any equation.

$2500 +$150 x20m =

$2500 + $3000 = $5500

If something cost $37.80, how many tens would you give?
Sophie [7]

Answer:

4 tens

Step-by-step explanation:

3 tens would get you $30, which is $7.80 short. If you give 4 tens you are giving $40 which is 2.20 more than $37.80, which is okay as you can probably get change and it is the least amount of tens you can give to cover the cost.

Find the value of x in the isosceles triangle shown.​
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the base of the triangle is 6 and the line dividing the triangle is x. To get x divide the triangle into two equal halves. When you do so,you’ll have a right triangle with x as the opposite , 8 as the hypotenuse and the adjacent as 3.

Using Pythagoras theorem, we have

8^2 = x^2 + 3^2

8 x 8 = x^2 + 3 x 3

64 = x^2 + 9

Subtract 9 from both sides

64 - 9 = x^2 + 9 - 9

55 = x^2

X^2 = 55

x = squared root of 55

x = 7.4

x = 7

<h2>HOW TO: SOLVE AN APPLICATION</h2>

Step 1. Identify what you are asked to find and choose a variable to represent it.

Step 2. Write a sentence that gives the information to find it.

Step 3. Translate the sentence into an equation.

Step 4. Solve the equation using good algebra techniques.

Step 5. Check the answer in the problem and make sure it makes sense.

Step 6. Write a complete sentence that answers the question.

Remember that whatever the application, once we write the sentence with the given information (Step 2), we can translate it to a percent equation and then solve it.

Do you pay a tax when you shop in your city or state? In many parts of the United States, sales tax is added to the purchase price of an item. See Figure 6.7. The sales tax is determined by computing a percent of the purchase price.

To find the sales tax multiply the purchase price by the sales tax rate. Remember to convert the sales tax rate from a percent to a decimal number. Once the sales tax is calculated, it is added to the purchase price. The result is the total cost—this is what the customer pays.
