Answer: The net weight of the pigs of the truck is 1 ton 868 pounds 12 ounces.

The weight of the empty truck is 7 tons 254 pounds 10 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

The gross weight of a  truck containing 30 pigs = 8 tons 1123 pounds 6 ounces

Average weight of one pig = 95 pounds 10 ounces

Now,

We know that

1\text{ pound}=16\text{ ounces}

So,

\text{Gross weight of truck containing 30 pigs}\\=8\text{ tones }1123\times 16+6\text{ ounces}\\=8\text{ tons }17974\text{ ounces}

Similarly,

\text{ average weight of one pig }\\=95\times 16+10\text{ ounces}\\=1530\text{ ounces}

So, Net weight of the pigs in the truck

1530\times 30\\ =45900\text{ ounces}\\\\=\frac{45900}{16}\\\\=2868\text{ pounds }12\text{ ounces}\\\\=1\text{ ton }868\text{ pounds }12\text{ ounces }

So, the net weight of the pigs of the truck is 1 ton 868 pounds 12 ounces.

Now, we'll find the weight of the empty truck is given by

\text{Gross weight of a truck containing} -\text{ Net weight of pigs in the truck}\\=8\text{ tons}1123\text{ pounds}6\text{ ounces}-1\text{ton }868\text{ pounds }12\text{ounces}\\=(8\times 2000\times 16+1123\times 16+6)-(1\times 2000\times 16+868\times 16-12)\\=273974\text{ ounces}-45900\text{ ounces}\\=228074\text{ounces }\\=7\text{ tons }254\text{ pounds }10\text{ ounces}

Hence, the weight of the empty truck is 7 tons 254 pounds 10 ounces .

Phil can afford $200 a month for 5 years for a car loan. if the interest rate is 7.5 percent, how much can he afford to borrow t
madreJ [45]
200 per month for 5 years = 12,000
Phil can (at most) pay 12,000 for the car loan.
That would be the payment total.
So, how do we solve for the PRINCIPAL?
Looking at the attached formula, we see the
principal = Total - Total * ((1 +r)^-n) / r * n
where n = # of payments = 5 year * 12 months = 60 and
rate / 1.200 = 7.5/1,200 = .00625
 
principal = [12,000 - 12,000 * (1.00625)^-60] / .375
principal = [12,000 - 12,000 * <span> <span> <span> 0.6880918239 </span> </span> </span> ] / .375
principal = [12,000 - <span> <span> <span> 8,257.1018863488] / .375
</span></span></span>principal = <span> <span> <span> 3,742.</span></span></span>90 / .375
principal = 9,981.06
