Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

5⁴/25 = 5²

25 = 5²

Then,

5⁴ / 25

= 5⁴/5²

Note:

• multiplication sign means addition in indices

• Division sign means subtraction in indices

Both numerator and denominator have the same base, so you'll pick one of the bases and subtract the powers

So,

5⁴/5²

= 5^(4 - 2)

= 5^(2)

= 5²

Therefore,

5⁴ / 25 = 5²

Barbara purchased a home entertainment center for $2,665 using an 18-month deferred payment plan with an interest rate of 24.36%

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

P = $ 144.99

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

cost of home entertainment center is $2665

duration of deferred payment plan is 18 month

interest rate is 24.36%

Total amount to be paid is $= P(1+ \frac{R}{100})^t$

$= 2665 (1+ \frac{24.36}{100})^1.5$

A = 3695.88

From the information in the questioon this amount is to be paid in 3 year . Thus we have

Monthly payment is =

$P = \frac{r(Pv)}{1 - (1+ r)^{-n}}$

p = monthly payment

Pv = present value = 3695.88

r =rate per period $= \frac{24.36}{12} = 0.020$

n = number of period $= 12\times 3 = 36$

plugging all value in the above formula

$P = \frac{0.020\times 3695.88}{1 - (1+0.020)^{-36}}$

P = $ 144.99

Nancy and Karen went on a trip to the mountain. Nancy started her trip 30 minutes later than Karen. They started from the same p

Katyanochek1 [597]

Distance = (rate)(time)
In this problem, note that both girls traveled the same distance.

Karens distance = r * 1.5 hrs we dont know her rate
Nancy distance = 50 * 1 hr we know she started 30 min later
but arrived at the same time

since the distances are equal
r*1.5 = 50 * 1 all you have to do is solve for r

1.5r = 50
r = 50/1.5
r = 33 1/3 miles per hour
