Answer:

After 59 months the new dryer will pay for itself.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the new clothes dryer takes 'x' months to pay for itself.

Then the operating cost of the new dryer will be = 15x

Since cost of the new dryer = $590

So, total cost of the dryer in x months = $(590 + 15x)

Now we know old dryer's operating cost is = $25 per month

So, operating cost for x months = 25x

By the time when new dryer's total cost becomes equal to the old dryer's operational cost, the new dryer will pay for itself.

Now we can get the value of x by equating the old dryer's operational cost and the new dryer's total cost.

25x = 590 + 15x

25x - 15x = 590

10x = 590

x = \frac{590}{10}

x = '59 months'

Leon drives a long distance to attend a family reunion. At 12:00 PM, his gas tank is completely filled with 12 gallons of gas. L
kotykmax [81]

Based on the rate that Leon's car uses gas, the time that Leon will stop to get gas is 3:36 pm.

<h3>When will Leon stop to get gas?</h3>

Leon will stop to get gas when the tank is 1/4 full which is:
= 1/4 x 12

= 3 gallons

The rate at which the car uses gas is:

= Gallons used / Time traveled

= 5 / 2

= 2.5 gallons per hour

The number of hours till he has to stop is:

= (12 gallons - 3 gallons) / 2.5

= 3.6 hours

The time that Leon will stop is:

= 12pm + 3.6 hours

= 12 pm  + 3 hours 36 minutes

= 1536 hours

= 3:36 pm

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

150(1-x)

Step-by-step explanation:

120 is decreased by d%

Let x = d%

120 - 120*x

120(1-x)

Then it is increased by 25%

(120 (1-x)) +(120 (1-x))*.25

(120 (1-x)) +(30 (1-x))

150(1-x)
