The answer is 39.470 because 39.472 is far from 39.450 and it’s 2 numbers passed 39.470.
Step-by-step explanation:
Average daily balance: Add all balances up and divide by the number of days.
157.63*9+239.98*1+239.98*4+180.38*1+180.38*9+190.57*1+190.57*6 gives us our total of 5756.36, and there were 9+1+4+1+9+1+6=31 days, so 5756.36/31 gives us our average of 185.69, or the fourth option
Daily interest rate: 24.99/365, as a percent, which is the first option
Finance charge: This is the cost of borrowing, and does not seem to be given, so we can take it to be the lowest amount, or the third value
New account balance: Again, this does not seem to be given, but the only option remaining is the second one
Answer:
Alex has to cycle
times faster.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x meters per minute be Alex's initial rate. If Alex’s bike ride to work usually takes 22 minutes, then the distance from home to work is 22x meters.
One morning he found a new bike route that was 5 minutes faster, then he spends 22-5=17 minutes on the way home cycling at the rate x meters per minute. Then the length of the new route is 17x meters.
If he decides to use this new route again and wants to reach home by an additional 2 minutes earlier, then he will spend 17-2=15 minutes to cover 17x meters. So, the new rate will be

Now,

so, Alex has to cycle
times faster.
