Answer:

Jupiter is about 5.6 times further from the Sun than the Earth is from the Sun.      

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

The distance from the Earth to the Sun = 90,000,000 miles

Converting it into scientific form:

90,000,000 = 9\times 10^7\\\text{Comparing to } 9\times 10^a\\\Rightarrow a=7

The distance from Jupiter to the Sun = 500,000,000 miles

Converting it into scientific form:

500,000,000 = 5\times 10^8\\\text{Comparing to } 5\times 10^b\\\Rightarrow b=8

Distance of Jupiter from the Sun and the Earth  from the Sun =

\displaystyle\frac{\text{Distance between Jupiter and Sun}}{\text{Distance between Earth and Sun}}\\\\=\frac{5\times 10^8}{9\times 10^7} = 5.55 \appox 5.6

Hence, Jupiter is about 5.6 times further from the Sun than the Earth is from the Sun.

10*a = 10000000

a = 1000000, one million

5*10*b = 500000000

b = 10000000, ten million

About ten times.

Sally agreed a compound interest of 5.5% for a fixed term. If she invested £800 to this agreement, then what was her total at th
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

£1045.57

Step-by-step explanation:

Using compound interest formula then

A=P(1+i)^{n}

Where A= the future value of the investment/loan, including interest

P = the principal investment amount

r = the annual interest rate

n = the number of times that interest is compounded per unit t

A=800(1+0.055)^{5}\approx 1045.57

Hence her amount t the end of 5 yrs is $1045.57

You purchase a used car for $6400, you put $1200 downm and have a monthly payment of $176.23 for 36 months
stepan [7]

Answer:

The amount financed is $5,200

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of finance is the price after making down payment being financed by a bank or institution or any individual to purchase an asset on some agreed terms.

Price of the car = $6,400

Down payment = $1,200

Amount financed = Purchase price - Down payment

PLacing values in the formula

Amount financed = $6,400 - $1,200

Amount financed = $5,200

Amount of finance is $5,200, Whereas total payments in 36 months are $6,344.28 against finance of $5,400 and the interest payment is $944.28 ( $6,344.28 - $5,400 ).
