Let Sarah's present age =x

Let Vika's present age =y

Sarah's age exceeds Vika’s age by 16 years.

x=y+16..............(1)

Four years ago,

Sarah's present age =x-4

Vika's present age =y-4

Four years ago, Sarah was twice as old as Vika was then.

(x-4) =2(y-4).............(2)

Plugging the value of x from equation (1) in (2)

(y+16-4) =2(y-4)

(y+12) =2(y-4)

(y+12) =2y-8

y=20

x=y+16 =20+16 = 36

Answer:

Sarah's present age =36

Vika's present age =16

NeTakaya

Answer:

408.2sq inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the cylindrical box = 2πr(r+h)

r is the radius  = diameter/2

r = 10/2 = 5in

h is the height = 8in

Substitute

Area of the cylindrical box  = 2(3.14)(5)(5+8)

Area of the cylindrical box = 2 * 3.14 * 5 * 13

Area of the cylindrical box  = 408.2sq inches

Cathy borrows $3280 at 0.3% simple interest per month. When Cathy pays the loan back 9 years later, what is the total amount tha
Lisa [10]
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Interest formula -
I = P × R × T
I = 3,280 × 0.3% × 9
What I basically did there wws multiply the amount of money, the simple interest, and the time.
Turn 0.3% into a decimal by dividing by a 100 which should give you 0.003

I = 3,280 × 0.003 × 9

Put that into a calculator, you get $88.56

Now, that's just the interest amount. Now you add it back to 3,280 to get the *total* amount.

3,280 + 88.56 = 3,368.56

Cathy ends us paying $3,368.56

Hope what I said made sense.
