Answer:
Steps below:)
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Find the mortgage amount.
2. Choose a interest rate on your mortgage.
3. Choose a mortgage term that is the median for your financial needs.
4. Calculate the monthly principal and interest payment using a financial calculator, a spreadsheet program such as Excel or an online mortgage calculator.
5. Determine the monthly amount you will pay into escrow each for payment of your property taxes.
If the fractions are equivalent, then yes, they can be re-written in the same simplest form.
B is equivalent to t = 8 + 2h
If your friend was working from your figures, then his estimate was
waaaay off, like in outer space.
If you paid $2.40 for 3434 pounds, then that works out to something
like 0.007¢ for each pound. His estimate of $1.80 is more than 2,500
times as much as you paid for each pound.
Even allowing some slack for the quantity discount that you surely
must have been awarded for buying 1.7 tons of them all at once, still
that doesn't support his wild estimate in any way.
He'd be better off buying a few pounds from you, at, say, 50¢ a pound.
He needzum, you gottum, he'll gettum, and you'll never missum. That way,
you'll both make a killing, and it's a win-win-win all around.
