Scott took out a 4-year car loan for $5,500. He paid back a total of $7,370. What interest rate did he pay for this loan?

1 answer:

7 0

Amount of car loan taken by Scott = $5500
Amount of loan paid back by Scott = $7370
Then
Amount of money paid as interest by Scott = (7370 - 5500) dollars
   = 1870 dollars
Then
Percentage of interest given for the car loan = (1870/5500) * 100
   = 1870/55
   = 34 percent
So Scott had to pay a total interest rate of 34% in the four years.I hope the procedure is simple enough for you to understand and solve future problems.

Answer:

the second option

Step-by-step explanation:

in ax²+bx+c = 0:

$x = \frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

subtract both sides by 6 to get to this form, as the right side will be left with 0

6x² + 8x - 6 = 0

here, the coefficient for x² (a) is 6, the coefficient for x (b) is 8, and the remaining number added on (c) is -6

plugging our numbers into the formula, we get

$x = \frac{-8+-\sqrt{(-8)^2-4(6)(-6)} }{2(6)}\\= \frac{-8+-\sqrt{64-(-144)} }{12} \\= \frac{-8+-\sqrt{208} }{12} \\ = \frac{-8+\sqrt{208} }{12} or \frac{-8-\sqrt{208} }{12}\\= 0.53518375848 or -1.86851709182\\= approximately -1.87, 0.54$
