Answer:

176 books

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the number of fiction books 'F', and the number of non-fiction books 'N'. Then, we can write the following system of equations:

eq1:

F = 3N

eq2:

2*(F - 122) = (N - 24)

2F - 244 = N - 24

2F = N + 220

Using the 'F' value from the first equation, we have:

6N = N + 220

5N = 220

N = 44\ books

F = 3N = 132\ books

The total number of books is:

F + N = 132 + 44 = 176\ books

A freezer can be bought on hire purchase by making a desposiy of 15% of the cash price which is $2975 the interest which is 20%
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The deposit

= 15% × $2975

= 15/100 × $2975

= 0.15 × $2975

= $446.25

b. The hire purchase price

Outstanding balance = $2975 - $446.25 = $2528.75

20% of outstanding balance

= 20% × $2528.75

= 0.2 × $2528.75

= $505.75

Hire purchase price

= $2975 + $505.75

= $3480.75

c. The difference the hire purchase price and cash price

= $3480.75 - $2975

= $505.75

d. The difference as a percentage of the cash price.

= ($505.75 / $2975) × 100

= 0.17 × 100

= 17%

Rent all

55.5/3 = 18.5

74/4 = 18.5

it costs 18.5 per day

1.     y = 18.5 x      where y =cost and x=days


A-1

10.99 per 1/2 day

10.99 * 2 =21.98 per day

2.  it costs 21.98 per day from A-1


Rentall is the better deal because it is only 18.50 per day versus 21.98 per day
