1550*0.8=1240

1240/120 = approximately 11 months to pay off

1240/180=approximately 7 months to pay off

11-7 =4

 so it would be paid off 4 months sooner, so C is the answer

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option: C is the correct answer.

                   C. 4 months sooner.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Total amount of the item is: $ 1550

Also, Tiffany paid 20% of the amount by down payment.

Hence, the amount left to pay after the down payment is:80% of total amount.

i.e. 0.80 of total amount.

= 0.80×1550

= $ 1240

Now the number of month it will take if she pay $ 120 a month is:

=\dfrac{1240}{120}=10.3333

which is approximately equal to 11 months.

Similarly, the number of month it will take if she pay $ 180 a month is:

=\dfrac{1240}{180}=6.8889

which is approximately equal to 7 months.

Hence, the number of months sooner she will pay off is:

                                11-7=4 months.

Graph x+3y&lt;(or equal to)6, indicating the solution set with cross hatching or shading. Explain how you determine where to dra
Sergeu [11.5K]

Step 1

Given;

x+3y\leq6

Required; To graph the inequality

Step 2

Graph the function

\begin{gathered} We\text{ find the y-intercept by setting x=0} \\ 0+3y\leq6 \\ y\leq2 \\ First\text{ point\lparen0,2\rparen} \end{gathered}\begin{gathered} We\text{ find the x-intercept by setting y=0} \\ x+3(0)\leq6 \\ x\leq6 \\ Secon\text{d point;\lparen6,0\rparen} \end{gathered}

So by finding the x-intercept and y-intercept, we can determine where to draw the line. Since the inequality is greater than or equal to the line will be continuous and not broken. Also, we will know the area we will shade by;

\begin{gathered} Resolving\text{ the inequality and make y the subject of the formular} \\ x+3y\leq6 \\ 3y\leq6-x \\ y\leq2-\frac{x}{3} \end{gathered}

Since if we set x=0, we get y < or equal to 2, then we know that the shaded area will be where y is equal to and below. There we will shade below the point (0,2) to represent the solution set.
