Answer:
<h2>
$5.56</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
On may 2, charge = $100
On may 20, charge = $200
To get the average daily balance, we will use the concept of calculating slope;
let d be day of the month and c be the amount charged
when d1 = 2, c1 = 100
when d2 = 20, c2 = 200
average daily balance = c2-c1/d2-d1
average daily balance = 200-100/20-2
average daily balance = 100/18
average daily balance ≈ 5.56
Hence your average daily balance is approximately $5.56
So,
We'll just use A to represent both Jan and Mya's miles, since they ran the same number.
We have the equations:
1. Jan (J) = Mya (M)
2. Sara (S) = M - 8
3. 2A + S = 64
J = M
S = M - 8
We'll just use A to represent both J and M.
S = M - 8
We'll use Elimination by Substitution.
2A + A - 8 = 64
Collect Like Terms
3A - 8 = 64
Add 8 to both sides
3A = 72
Divide both sides by 3
A = 24
Since
A = J
and
A = M
and
J = M
then
J = 24
M = 24
Substitute
S = 24 - 8
S = 16
Check
24 + 24 + 16 = 64
64 = 64 This checks.
So,
J = 24
M = 24
S = 16
True us the answer too your question.
