Amanda [17]
We can solve problems like this using multiplication rules. Since the order of colors and combinations does not matter, we can multiply all  values in any order we so choose. In this case, our values are colors and vehicles:

Car: Red, Yellow
Truck: Black, White, Silver
Motorcycle: Green, Blue, Orange

We have 2 options with a car, 3 options with a truck, and 3 options with a motorcycle. Since he wants one of each, we will multiply all of the color options together: 

2 x 3 x 3

= 18

Edwin has 18 different combination of vehicles to choose from.

Brandon has two credit cards and would like to consolidate the two balances into one balance on the card with the lower interest
Nostrana [21]

The amount which Brandon have saved in interest by consolidating the two balances on the card with the lower interest rate is $256.12.

<h3>What is monthly payment?</h3>

Monthly payment is the payment which has to paid against the loan amount or the borrowed money calculated with interest rate.

It can be calculated with the following formula.

M=P\left (\dfrac{r}{1-(1+r)^{-nt}}\right)

Here, (<em>P</em>) is the principal amount, (<em>r</em>) is the interest rate and (<em>t</em>) is time.

Brandon has two credit cards and would like to consolidate the two balances into one balance on the card with the lower interest rate.

The table below shows the information about the two credit cards Brandon currently uses.    

  • Cards                Amount              APR             Monthly Payment
  • Card a               $1,463.82              13%                 $24.60
  • Card b               $1,157.98               17%                 $22.14

               

Interest rate for the card a is,

r=\dfrac{13}{12\times100}=0.01083

The time period is 8 years and there are 12 months in one year. Thus, the monthly payment of card A will be,

M=1157.98\left (\dfrac{0.01083}{1-(1+0.01083)^{-12(8)}}\right)\\M=19.47

In the 8 years, there is total 96 monthly payments. Thus, the total payment by card A is,

P_a=19.47\times96=1869.12

For the card B the monthly payment is $22.14. Thus the total payment by card B is,

P_b=22.14\times96=2125.44

The difference in the payment is,

d=2125.44-1869.12\\d=256.12

Hence, the amount which Brandon have saved in interest by consolidating the two balances on the card with the lower interest rate is $256.12.

A worker at a factory earns $12 per hour plus 2.50 for each unit produced that hour. The worker earns a total of $27 in one hour
nevsk [136]

Answer:

The total number of units produced is 6  .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The earning of worker at the factory = $ 12 per hour + $ 2.50 each unit per hour

The total earning of worker per hour = $ 27

Let The total number of unit produced = x

According to question

The wage worker earn per hour + earning  × per unit produced that hour = Total earning of worker per hour

Or, $ 12 per hour + $ 2.50 each unit per hour × x = $ 27

Or, $ 2.50 each unit per hour × x = $ 27 - $ 12

Or,  $ 2.50 each unit per hour × x = $ 15

∴   x = \frac{15}{2.50}

Or, x = 6

Hence The total number of units produced is 6  .   Answer
