$1,879.58
$861.00
APR
14%
10%
Monthly Payment
$43.73
$18.29

After 5 years, how much will Marcia have saved in interest by consolidating the two balances?
a.
$1,526.40
b.
$2,422.80

Given:
Card A - 1,879.58 ; APR 14%; monthly -43.73
Card B -    861.00 ; APR 10% ; monthly -18.29

5 years x 12 months/yr = 60 months.

Card A = 43.73 x 60 = 2,623.80
Card B = 18.29 x 60 = 1,097.40
Total : 2,623.80 + 1,097.40 = 3,721.20

Lowest APR is 10%. monthly rate: 0.83%
Total Card balance: 1,879.58 + 861 = 2,740.58

A = P * (r(1+r)^n) / [(1+r)^n -1]
A = 2,740.58 * [0.0083 (1.0083)^60] / [(1.0083)^60 - 1]
A = 2,740.58 * 0.014/0.64
A = 2,740.58 * 0.022
A = 60.29 monthly payment.

60.29 x 60 = 3,617.40

Separate cards: 3,721.20
Consolidated:     3,617.40
Difference: 103.80

The closest among the choices is Choice C. 105.  Difference in amount may vary in the rounding off of the decimal numbers.

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer: By moving from sea level to Mexico City  air pressure is reduced by 25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this we have to apply a decrease rate formula

P0 (1-r)^x

Where:  

p0= initial pressure

r = decrease rate. (0.4 = 0.4/100=0.004 decimal form)

x = feet (hundredths, since the air pressure decays every 100 feet we have to divide the input value by 100)

Replacing with the values given

P0 (1- 0.4/100)^(7340/100) =

P0 (0.996)^73.4 =

P0 ( 0.75)=

The air pressure at Mexico City compared to the sea level is 75% (0.75 x 100 =75%)

To obtain the percent decrease  

100% -75% =25%

How to find the smallest distance between two lines?
Lostsunrise [7]
Consider two lines in space `1 and `2 such that `1 passes through point P1 and is parallel to vector ~v1 and `2 passes through P2 and is parallel to ~v2. We want to compute the smallest distance D between the two lines.
If the two lines intersect, then it is clear that D = 0. If they do not intersect and are parallel, then D corresponds to the distance between point P2 and line `1 and is given by D = k−−−→ P1P2 ×~v1k k~v1k . Assume the lines are not parallel and do not intersect (skew lines) and let ~n = ~v1 ×~v2 be a vector perpendicular to both lines. The norm of the projection of vector −−−→ P1P2 over ~n will give us D, i.e., D = |−−−→ P1P2 ·~n| k~nk . Example Consider the two lines `1 : x = 0, y =−t, z = t and `2 : x = 1+2s, y = s, z =−3s. It is easy to see that the two lines are skew. Let P1 = (0,0,0), ~v1 = (0,−1,1), P2 = (1,0,0), and ~v2 = (2,1,−3). Then, −−−→ P1P2 = (1,0,0) and ~n = ~v1 ×~v2 = (2,2,2). We then get D = |−−−→ P1P2 ·~n| k~nk = 1 √3. Observe that the problem can also by solved with Calculus. Consider the problem of minimizing the Euclidean distance between two points on `1 and `2. Let Q1 = (x1,y1,z1) and Q2 = (x2,y2,z2) be arbitrary points on `1 and `2, and let F(s,t) = (x2 −x1)2 +(y2 −y1)2 +(z2 −z1)2 = (1+2s)2 +(s + t)2 +(−3s−t)2 = 14s2 +2t2 +8st +4s+1. Note that F(s,t) corresponds to the square of the Euclidean distance between Q1 and Q2. Let’s nd the critical points of F. Fs(s,t) = 28s+8t +4 = 0 Ft(s,t) = 4t +8s = 0 By solving the linear system, we nd that the unique critical point is (s0,t0) = (−1/3,2/3). Since the Hessian matrix of F, H =Fss Fst Fts Ftt=28 8 8 4, is positive denite, the critical point corresponds to the absolute minimum of F over all (s,t)∈R2. The minimal distance between the two lines is then D =pF(s0,t0) = 1 √3.

Answer:

6.25 lb and 100 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

One lb (Pound) is equal to 16 oz (Ounce). Therefore, 100 oz equals...

100 oz / 16 = 6.25 lb

and

100 oz = 100 oz
