Answer:
Initial value for Mrs. White is $600 more than Mrs. Brown.
The rate of change is same for both.
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of car purchased by Mrs. White = $3,000
Rate at which she pays for the car = $300 per month
Cost of car purchased by Mrs. Brown = $2,400
Rate at which she pays for the car = $300 per month
So,
Initial value for Mrs. White was =$3,000
Initial values for Mrs. Brown was =$2,400
difference in initial values =$600
∴ Initial value for Mrs. White is $600 more than Mrs. Brown.
Rate of change of payment due for Mrs. White = $300 per month
Rate of change for payment due for Mrs. Brown = $300 per month
∴ The rate of change is same for both.
Since Mrs White had a higher initial value than Mrs Brown and both having same rates of change, therefore Mrs. White will take a longer time to pay the due.
