It is B because yiu solve
N2+40-28=
Combine like terms
n2+40-28=n2+12
Factor out 2
n•2+12=2(n+6)
Therefore the answer is 2(n+6)
Let x = total sales of baked goods remember 20% = .20 as a decimal
so the equation would be .20x = $600
divide both sides by .20
.20x/.20 = $600/.20
x = $3000 the total sales of baked goods
CHECK: 20% times $3000 = .20 times $3000 = $600
You are told to ignore the amount of principal paid, so you are apparently to assume the loan amount was for $50 thousand.
a) The old monthly payment was $10.67×50 = $533.50
b) The new monthly payment is $11.72×50 = $586.00
c) The increase in monthly payment is figured in the usual way:
... (new/old -1)×100% = (1.0984-1)×100% = 9.84%
_____
In reality, about 3% of the loan will have been paid at the end of 2 years. Thus, the original loan amount may have been near $51,500. This problem is telling you to ignore the difference.
