Answer:

No

Explanation:

Wages

£450

450 x 1.02 = 459

Rent

£200

200 x 1.05 = 210

wages increases by £9

rent increases by £10

No the increase in her wages will not fully pay for the increase in the rent

Louann and Carla received equal scores on a test made up of multiple choice questions and an essay. Louann got 14 multiple choic
Gnoma [55]
Louann= 14x+24
Carla= 16x+14
 So basically this is just like solving equations. The way I did this was just put random numbers for x and then solve it.
First attempt: 
14(7)+24=16(7)+14
98+24=112+14
122=126
 Okay the first one didn't work so I use 6 for x. 
Second attempt: 
14(6)+24=16(6)+14
84+24=96+14
108=110

So 6 didn't work and you already should know that the answers should be between 1 and 5. 

So now I going to do 5 for x
Third attempt:
14(5)+24=16(5)+14
70+24=80=14
94=94
 
And so the answer is 5! :D The multiply choice questions were worth 5 points and Louann and Carla had 94 for their scores! I hope this help you out and clear for you! :D

You wish to purchase a new car and can afford monthly repayments of up to $250 per month. You see a car you like for $12,000 and
White raven [17]

Answer:

Since the finance’s monthly required payment of $304.07 is greater than the $250 monthly that you can afford, this implies that you CANNOT afford to purchase the car on finance.

Step-by-step explanation:

The monthly required payment of the finance can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:

PV = M * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)

Where;

PV = Present value or finance amount = $12,000

M = Finance’s monthly required payment = ?

r = Monthly interest rate = Annual interest rate / 12 = 17.9% / 12 = 0.179 / 12 = 0.0149166666666667

n = number of months = Number of years * 12 = 5 * 12 = 60

Substitute the values into equation (1) and solve for M, we have:

$12,000 = M * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.0149166666666667))^60) / 0.0149166666666667)

$12,000 = M * 39.464764662266

M = $12,000 / 39.464764662266 = $304.07

Since the finance’s monthly required payment of $304.07 is greater than the $250 monthly that you can afford, this implies that you CANNOT afford to purchase the car on finance.
