Answer:
$2072
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that:
1 year = 12 months
Hence:
1 year = 12 months
3 years = x months
Cross Multiply
x = 3 × 12
x = 36 months
She makes a down payment of $200 and monthly payments of $52 each for three years.
Her total cost is represented by the expression
= $200 + $52 × m
Where m = number of monthly payments.
$200 + $52 × 36
= $200 + $1872
= $ 2072
Answer:
The Answer is A. :)
Step-by-step explanation:
My initial answer was $2750.45, and I will show you my calculations.
Calc : 6774.5 ÷ 100 = 67.745
67.745 × 2.7 = 182.9115
182.9115 × 22 = 4024.053
6774.5 - 4024.053 = 2750.45
= $2750.45
At first I thought this was correct, but after studying my answer I realise that the amount of interest would rise as the amount of money went up, therefore my calculations are very wrong. If I work out the answer, I will get back to you, but the calculation is more complicated than I first predicted
Number of weekend minutes used: x
Number of weekday minutes used: y
This month Nick was billed for 643 minutes:
(1) x+y=643
The charge for these minutes was $35.44
Telephone company charges $0.04 per minute for weekend calls (x)
and $0.08 per minute for calls made on weekdays (y)
(2) 0.04x+0.08y=35.44
We have a system of 2 equations and 2 unkowns:
(1) x+y=643
(2) 0.04x+0.08y=35.44
Using the method of substitution
Isolating x from the first equation:
(1) x+y-y=643-y
(3) x=643-y
Replacing x by 643-y in the second equation
(2) 0.04x+0.08y=35.44
0.04(643-y)+0.08y=35.44
25.72-0.04y+0.08y=35.44
0.04y+25.72=35.44
Solving for y:
0.04y+25.72-25.72=35.44-25.72
0.04y=9.72
Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.04:
0.04y/0.04=9.72/0.04
y=243
Replacing y by 243 in the equation (3)
(3) x=643-y
x=643-243
x=400
Answers:
The number of weekends minutes used was 400
The number of weekdays minutes used was 243
