Answer:

40! Seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for After how many seconds will the two fish tanks have the same amount of water

First step

Based on the information given let the equation be :

150-1/2x=120+1/4x

Second step

Now let solve for x which means that x will be the number of second by multiplying both side by 4

4(150-1/2x)=4(120+1/4x)

=600-2x=480+x

Third step

Let Add 2x on both side

600=480+3x

Third step

Let Subtract 480 on both side

600-480=480-480+3x

120=3x

Last step is to divide both side by 3

120/3=3x/3

40=x

Hence:

x=40 seconds

Therefore After 40 seconds the two fish tanks will have the same amount of water.

Cerrena [4.2K]

The purchase of the hydroponic system by Ingrid Nilsen for $4,000 with a 20% down payment at 10% APR for 36 months, and the related calculations, are as follows:

a) down payment = $800.00 ($4,000 x 20%)

b) amount financed = $3,200 ($4,000 - $800)

c) monthly payment = $103.25

d) total amount repaid = $4,517

e) finance charge = $517

<h3>How is periodic payment computed?</h3>

The amount of the periodic payment, finance charge, and total repayment can be computed using an online finance calculator as follows:

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Auto Price = $4,000

Loan Term = 36 months

Interest Rate = 10%

Down Payment = $800 ($4,000 x 20%)

Monthly Payment  = $103.25

Total Loan Amount $3,200.00

Upfront Payment = $800.00 ($4,000 x 20%)

Total of 36 Loan Payments = $3,717. ($103.25 x 36)

Total Loan Interest = $517

Total Cost (price, interest, tax, fees) = $4,517

Thus, Ingrid Nilsen repaid a total of $4,517 with $517 in interest (finance charge).

The ratio of red cars to blue cars in a parking lot was 8 : 7. If there were 48 red cars, how many blue cars were there?
shutvik [7]
What you need to do is multiply both sides by the same number. If 8 times 6 is 48, then 7 times 6 is your answer.
