Answer:
The number of deserters is 34.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to calculate the number of desertors in a group of 1500 soldiers.
The sergeant divides in groups of different numbers and count the lefts over.
If he divide in groups of 5, he has on left over. The amount of soldiers grouped has to end in 5 or 0, so the total amount of soldiers has to end in 1 or 6.
If he divide in groups of 7, there are three left over. If we take 3, the number of soldiers gruoped in 7 has to end in 8 or 3. The only numbers bigger than 1400 that end in 8 or 3 and have 7 as common divider are 1428 and 1463.
If we add the 3 soldiers left over, we have 1431 and 1466 as the only possible amount of soldiers applying to the two conditions stated until now.
If he divide in groups of 11, there are three left over. We can test with the 2 numbers we stay:
As only 1466 gives a possible result (no decimals), this is the amount of soldiers left.
The deserters are 34:
60 hundreds = 60 * 100 = 6,000 ( six thousands )
10 * 600 = 6,000 ( 10 times as many as 600 is 6,000 - six thousands )
Answer:
10 times as many as 6 hundreds is 60 hundreds or 6 thousands.

Answer:
Option C is the correct answer.
C. 5•(-20)
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told that the insurance payment for the car follows a certain pattern that can be represented through an expression. The payment is decreasing by $20 every year. As we don't know the total payment amount per period, so we cannot calculate how much is paid per period/year for insurance but we can calculate the rate at which this payment is decreasing.
Change in payment = t * (-20)
The above expressions can be used to calculate the amount of change in payment i payment is decreasing by a constant $20 every year, after t years.
So, if we want to calculate the change in payment after say 5 years, we can replace t with 5 in the equation and calculate the change,
Change in payment = 5 * (-20)
Change in payment = - $100
