Answer:

A pound of a JELLY BEANS cost $2.5

A pound of TRAIL MIX cost $1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we can draw out two equations and solve them simultaneously.

We should make some mild assumptions to make it easier:

Let Jelly beans be j

Let Trail mix be t

Therefore, we can extract these equations.

5j + 3t =$ 17 ...........i

2j + 12t = $ 23...…..ii

Let's Multiply equation (I) by 4 so that we can easily eliminate.

20j + 12t = $ 68..... iii

Let equation (iii) minus equation (ii)

18j + 0t = $45

18j = $45

j = $45/18

j = $2.5

A pound of a JELLY BEANS cost $2.5

Let's substitute j= $2.5 in EQUATION (I) so as to solve for TRAIL MIX.

5j + 3t =$ 17

5(2.5) + 3t = 17

12.5 + 3t = 17

3t = 17 - 12.5

3t = 4.5

t = $1.5

A pound of TRAIL MIX cost $1.5

Answer:

$319,525.64

Step-by-step explanation:

It appears you want the interest to accumulate for 15 years before you pay anything on the loan. The value of $180,000 appreciating at 3.9% annually will be ...

$180,000·(1 +0.039)^15 = $319,525.64

If your lender allows you to wait 15 years before making any payment, your payment will be $319,525.64.

<em>Additional comment</em>

Home loans are usually paid with monthly payments computed from the formula ...

A = P(r/12)/(1 -(1 +r/12)^(-12t))

where A is the monthly payment on principal P, r is the annual interest rate, t is the number of years.

For your $180,000 loan, the monthly payment is ...

A = $180,000·(0.039/12)/(1 -(1 +0.039/12)^(-12·15)) ≈ $1322.44

The total of those payments is ...

180·$1322.44 = $238,039.20

If you pay $1322.44 monthly on the loan, your total payment is $238,039.20.
