Answer:

T=(total cost)

T=1.084x

Step-by-step explanation:

8.4% *x can be rewritten as 0.084x

Then you have 100% of x, the original cost, which is x

x+0.084x= 1.084x

Thus, the total cost is 1.084x

Shobos mother present age is six times shobos present age. Shobos age five from now will be one third of his mother's present ag

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the problem statement, we can setup the following equations:

$M = 6S$

$S + 5 = \frac{1}{3}M$

where $S$ is the current age of Shobos and $M$ is the current age of his mother.

Substituting the first equation into the second will allow us to solve for $S$ :

$S + 5 = \frac{1}{3}M$

$S + 5 = \frac{1}{3}(6S)$

$S + 5 = 2S$

$S = 5$

Substituting this value into the first equation gives us the age of the mother:

$M = 6S$

$M = 6(5)$

$M = 30$
