Answer:
price of a computer that she could afford R 9230.769
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
amount pay = R500 per month = 500 × 24 = R 12000 total pay
time period =24 months = 24 /12 = 2 years
rate = 15 % per annum
to find out
price of a computer that she could afford
Solution
we know formula
Amount Paid = Principal × (1+(RT/100))
put value principal pay and R and T and we get
principal = Amount / (1+(RT/100))
principal = 1200 / (1+(15 ×2 )/100))
principal = 9230.769
price of a computer that she could afford R 9230.769
well, to do this we first need to find the mean of all values.
we need to find the distance of each value from that mean (subtract the mean from each value, ignore minus signs)
Then find the mean of those distances.
so, after we do all of that with the given numbers, our final result would be 2.333333333..... (It goes on) we round it up to 2.3, and viola! the answer is C.
1/2(-14x + 14) + 14x
<em><u>Distributive property.</u></em>
-7x + 7 + 14x
<em><u>Combine like terms.</u></em>
7x + 7 (This is the simplified answer.)
