We know that
2l + 2w = 24
And:
l = 3w
By substitution:
2(3w) +2w = 24
6w + 2w = 24
8w = 24
w = 3 metres
l = 3 x 3 = 9 metres
Total cost = 24 x $25 = $600
327.68, 262.144, 209.7152
Multiple the number by 0.8 to get the next number in the series
18 x 3 + 12 - 1 x 34 + 13 - 2 x 56 = 67
<=Work=>
18 x 3 = 54
1 x 34 = 34
2 x 56 = 112
(54) + 12 - (34) + 13 - (112)
66 - 34 + 13 - 112
32 + 13 - 112
45 - 112
= 67
The answer is indeed 3,725.90. The reason why is because <span>with each adjustment, you take the remaining balance and calculate a fixed rate loan for the remaining time period at the new rate. When you follow that procedure with the data you already have, you get that answer.</span>
