Manny is an online student who currently owns an older car that is fully paid for. He drives, on average, 110 miles per week to

commute to work. With gas prices currently at $2.65 per gallon, he is considering buying a more fuel-efficient car, and wants to know if it would be a good financial decision. The old car Manny owns currently gets 16 miles per gallon for average fuel efficiency. It has been a great vehicle, but with its age, it needs repairs and maintenance that average $740 per year (as long as nothing serious goes wrong). The newer, more fuel-efficient car that he is looking at to purchase will cost a total of $6,500 over a three-year loan process. This car gets 28 miles per gallon and would only require an average of $10 per month for general maintenance. To help make a decision, Manny wants to calculate the total cost for each scenario over three years. He decides to use the quantitative reasoning process to do this.

Answer:

The new car costs more

Old car = $5062.125

New car = $7161.357

Step-by-step explanation:

Manny drives an average of 110 miles per week with his old car. The old car gets 16 miles per gallon. The cost per gallon is $2.65 repair and Maintainance costs an average of $740 per year.

For the old car, to find the amount spent on the car we have

110/16 * 2.65 = $18.21875 / week

There are 52 weeks in a year. We have

10.21875*52 = $ 947.375

947.375 + 740

= $1687.375

= 1687.357 * 3

= $5062.125

The new car cost $6500 over a three year loan process.

The car gets 28 miles per gallon. It requires a maintenance f $10 per month. For the new car to find the amount, we have

110*28 * 2.65 *52 = $541.357

541.357 + 10(12) + 6500

= $7161.357

Gary had a 40% discount for car speakers. The sale price of the speakers was $96.25. What was the original price of the speakers
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the price after the discount is subtracted is $96.25 then this is what you do

u times 0.40 x 96.25 which is 38.5 so since you are wanting to know what the price was before the discount you would add 38.5 to 96.25 and when you do that your answer is 134.75

but if you are just trying to get the discount from 96.25 you subtract 38.5 from 96.25

NEED HELP ASAP PLEASE WITH #9 and #10!!
ICE Princess25 [194]
9) Because the total number of pencils is 180 and you will use them up in 30 days, the equation will have to equal 0 total pencils when 30 is substituted in for the time factor, or x. This already takes our choice 3 because it doesn’t meet this criteria.
The answer to how many pencils in 20 days could be answered by plugging in 20 for x. Choice 4 cannot work because it results in a negative number of pencils. Choices 1 and 2 use the same equation, so by plugging in 20 it is clear choice 2 is the correct answer.

10) A line parallel to the go en equation would have the same slope, -3, which means choices 1 and 4 are out. Plug in (-2,5) into both choices 2 and 3. Plugging -2 into x in choice 2 gives -5, and in choice 3 gives 5 for the y value. Therefore choice 3 is correct.
