Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so basically let's start with a proportion.

x/32 = 11.25/9

Cross multiply:

x * 9 = 32 * 11.25

9x = 32 * 11.25

9x = 360

Solving for variable 'x'.

Divide each side by '9'.

x = 40

I don't know if this is the correct answer, but it was based on my math. I hope this helps!

What is the finance charge on 13,300 financed at 7.9 percent for 4 years if the monthly payment per 100 is 2.74?
Julli [10]

To answer this question we have to first determine how many times 100 can go into 13,300. To find this we do the following:


<span>$13,300/$100 = 133</span>


<span>Now we simply multiply the result by $2.74:</span>


<span>$2.74*133 = $364.42.</span>


<span>Finally we just multiply that by the total number of payments which are (monthly payment, 12 months in a year, for 4 years).</span>


<span>$364.42*(12*4) ---> $364.42*48 = $17,492.16.</span>


The correct answer is choice 4.) 17,492.16


<span>I hope this helps, Regards.</span>

Find the constant of proportional (r) in the equation y = rx​
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Constant of proportionality,  

Step-by-step explanation:

Constant of proportionality states that the constant value of the ratio of two proportional quantities x and y,

it is written in the form of y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.

Given the equation:                         .....[1]

where r is the constant of proportionality.

From the table we consider

x = 14 and y = 1.4

Substitute these given values in [1] to solve for r;

Divide both sides by 14 we get;

therefore, the Constant of proportionality,

Lola is saving money for a new bike. The first month, she saves $50 from her birthday. Lola plans to save $10 per month thereaft
weqwewe [10]
So this can be translated like the following:
Bike costs= 173 dollars She currently has 107. She saves 11 dollar per week to get the bike so the formula is:
173 = 107 + 11X where X is the number of weeks

Step 1: bring the 107 to the other side to get 173-107 = 11X
Step 2: divide both sides by 11 to solve for X to get this (173-107 )/11 = X
Step 3: Calculate and simplify 66 / 11 = X which is the same as X= 6

So the answer is it will take jennifier 6 weeks to save for the bike.
