At the beginning of each of her four years in college, Miranda took out a new Stafford loan. Each loan had a principal of $5,500

, an interest rate of 7.5% compounded monthly, and a duration of ten years. Miranda paid off each loan by making constant monthly payments, starting with when she graduated. All of the loans were subsidized. What is the total lifetime cost for Miranda to pay off her 4 loans? Round each loan's calculation to the nearest cent. a. $23,650.00 b. $29,481.08 c. $7,834.32 d. $31,337.27 ECONOMICS

Answer:

D. $31,337.27

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the initial amount of the loan is $5500.

Miranda took the loan for 4 years. So, the total present value is $5500×4 = $22,000.

The rate of interest on the loan is 7.5% i.e. 0.075 and it was for the duration of 10 years.

Also, it is given that the loan was compounded annually.

We have the formula as,

P=\frac{\frac{r}{n}\times PV}{1-(1+\frac{r}{n})^{-t\times n}}

i.e. PV=\frac{P\times [1-(1+\frac{r}{n})^{-t\times n}]}{\frac{r}{n}}

Substituting the values, we get,

i.e. PV=\frac{P\times [1-(1+\frac{0.075}{12})^{-10\times 12}]}{\frac{0.075}{12}}

i.e. 22000=\frac{P\times [1-(1+0.00625)^{-120}]}{0.00625}

i.e. 22000=\frac{P\times [1-(1.00625)^{-120}]}{0.00625}

i.e. 22000=\frac{P\times [1-0.4735]}{0.00625}

i.e. 22000=\frac{P\times 0.5265}{0.00625}

i.e. P=\frac{22000\times 0.00625}{0.5265}

i.e. P=\frac{137.5}{0.5265}

i.e. P=261.16

Thus, the total lifetime cost to pay of the loans compounded annually  = 261.16 × 120 = $31,339.2

Hence, the total cost close to the answer is $31,337.27

A scientist needs to make 2 liters of saline solution (salt water), in which the salt
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

1.60 L of 10% solution

0.40 L of 35% solution

Step-by-step explanation:

If x = amount of 10% saline solution, and y = amount of 35% saline solution, then:

x + y = 2

0.10x + 0.35y = 0.15(2)

Solve with substitution:

0.10x + 0.35(2 − x) = 0.15(2)

0.10x + 0.70 − 0.35x = 0.30

0.40 = 0.25x

x = 1.60

y = 0.40

Solve the system of equations.<br> 2y+7x=−5<br> 5y−7x=12<br> ​
3241004551 [841]

We can solve this by substitution method.

Look at the second equation. If we rearrange to find 7x, we can substitute in the value into the first equation.

5y-7x=12

5y-7x-12=0

5y-12=7x

Therefore, 7x=5y-12

Now replace the 7x in the first equation with 5y - 12:

2y+7x=-5 (substitute in 7x = 5y - 12)

2y+(5y-12)=-5

7y-12=-5

7y=7

y=1

Now that we know y, we can find x by substituting in y = 1 into any equation we want. I will use the equation: 7x = 5y - 12

7x=5y-12 (substitute in y = 1)

7x=5(1) -12

5x=5-12

7x=-7

x=-1

Graph the linear equation by any method. 2x=-4y+2 help me graph this
almond37 [142]
First give 0 value to x and find y, then give 0 value to y and find x. the values you find will be the point that is on the line. then for example give 7 to x and find y. this will be the second point and draw the line. you just have to do the first step and try the second one
