Answer:
you spent all together 40.2+24.5+37.8=$102.50.
you saved 19.8+10.5+7.2=$37.50
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the amount we spend, we multiply the original price by the decimal conversion of each fraction. Then we add the amounts together.
Sneakers cost $60 and you bought them at 2/3=0.6666....
60(0.67)=$40.20 and saved $19.80
Sweater costs $35 and you bought it at 7/10=0.7
35(0.7)=$24.50 and saved $10.50
A jacket costs $45 and you bought it at 5/6=0.8333...
45(0.84)=$37.80 and saved $7.20
We spent all together 40.2+24.5+37.8=$102.50.
We saved 19.8+10.5+7.2=$37.50
We could of spent paying regular price 60+35+45=$140. To find the fraction we place the total we actually paid over the total regular price.
Answer:
So the portion of the loan lent at 4% is 21000(0.5955) = $12,505.5
And the portion of the loan lent at 15% is 21000(0.4045) = $8494.5
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem can be solved in several ways. The way I like is as follows.
Ask yourself at what interest would $ 21,000 yield and interest of $ 2,215 in one year ? The equation to solve is:
21000(P) = 2215
P = 0.1055 or 10.55 %
This number is a weighed average of the 4% yield and the 15% yield so the next equation to solve is
10.55 = 4(1 – X) + 15X
Where X is the proportion of the loan given at the indicated interest. So
10.55 = 4 – 4X + 15X
6.55 = 11X
X = 0.5955
1-X = 0.4045
So the portion of the loan lent at 4% is 21000(0.5955) = $12,505.5
And the portion of the loan lent at 15% is 21000(0.4045) = $8494.5
Use distributive property.
Because there are 4 people and all bought the same things you multiple 4(4+1+2)=4x7=28 So the total cost is $28
