Answer:
25%
Step-by-step explanation:
she earned $1,000
she spent $250
250/1000 = 0.25
0.25 x 100 = 25%
The first misconception is that the balance shouldn't be paid off in full in order to boost the credit score. This is simply not true. You can pay off all of the balance and it will actually improve the score. The score reflects the ability to pay borrowed money back. A credit card is basically a micro-loan of sorts. So if George pays off the balance, he's paying back the credit card company and that tells the company (and others) that his ability to pay is good. Plus it tells about his priorities which is what the credit score indirectly indicates. Other companies will see that George can pay the money back, so they'll be more eager to lend to him.
The other misconception is that being late is fine and improving the payment habits is what brings up the score. This is murky gray area and somewhat true but also somewhat false. What happens is that if you are late then your score goes down by some amount. When you improve the payment habits, the score goes back up. Whether it goes back to the original value or larger depends on the situation. So the second claim George makes is technically true, but there's broader context to consider. It's similar to how if you shoot yourself in the foot in some videogame, and then let your foot heal up, then you're increasing health points. The first act shouldn't have needed to happen and it reflects a weird backwards thinking. If anything, it wastes time where George could have simply been improving the score (rather than decrease it only to increase it back).
The reality is that keeping up with the payments in a timely fashion is what keeps the credit score healthy. Once again, the score reflects someone's ability to pay back borrowed money. It applies to any kind of loan, which a credit card is a part of.
-----------------
In short, George is mistaken by two claims he makes
- Not paying off the balance in full improves the credit score
- Being late on payments, and then improving payment habits, will increase the credit score
When in reality keeping up with payments and paying off the balance will improve the credit score. There's no need to hinder oneself on purpose in the goal of improving from that contrived setback.
Side note: the credit card company wants you to carry a balance so they can charge interest on said balance. That's how they make most of their money. However, even if you go against the wishes of the credit card company, they won't ding you credit score points for paying off the balance in full.
Answer:
{36, 66, 78}
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the measures of the three angles be f, s and t, for first, second and third. Then s + t = 4f, t = 12 + s, and f + s + t = 180.
Subbing 12 + s for t in the first equation, we get s + 12 + s = 4f.
Subbing the same in the third equation, we get f + s + 12 + s = 180
This results in two equations in two unknowns (f and s):
2s - 4f = -12
2s + f = 168.
Let's eliminate s by subtracting the first of these two equations from the second. Doing so yields 5f = 180. Then the first angle, f, or x, is 36.
Then, from 2s + f = 168, we get 2s + 36 = 168, or 2s = 132. Thus, the second angle is s = y = 66.
The sum of the three angles must be 180. Thus, 36 + 66 + t = 180, or
102 + t = 180, or t = z = 78.
The three angles are
{36, 66, 78}.
First you have to get the number on the right 40 to equal 100 so do 40x2=80- +40x1.5= 100
Then do the same thing to the first number 8 so 8x2=16+8x1.5=20
then you have 20/100 right so then that number over 100 is the percent that you get ^-^ 20%
