Sally needs to have some drywall and insulation work done in her house. She has received a quote from a professional drywall con

tractor to complete her repairs for $1,200. Her neighbor Steve says he can complete the same job for $800. Sally could use a credit card to pay the contractor, but Steve can only accept cash. Sally’s credit card has a 14% APR for credit purchases and a 32% interest rate for cash advances. Expecting to pay $50 of the principle plus appropriate interest each month, Sally estimates that it would take her 24 months to pay off the contractor balance and 16 months to pay off the cash advance balance. In the end, would it be cheaper for Sally to hire the contractor or her neighbor to complete the repairs?

Answer:

Sally can chose Steve to work with.

Step-by-step explanation:

We will calculate EMI for both the contractor and Steve.

Contractor:

EMI formula = \frac{p*r*(1+r)^{n} }{(1+r)^{n}-1 }

p = 1200

r = 14/12/100=0.0116

n = 24

Putting values in formula we get,

\frac{1200*0.0116*(1.0116)^{24} }{(1.0116)^{24}-1 }

= $57.62

So, for $1200 at 14% for 24 months, Sally would have to pay $57.62 per month, or 57.62*24 = $1382.88 after 24 months.

Steve:

Similarly putting these values : (p=800, r=32/12/100= 0.0266 and n=16) in above formula we get, $62.08 per month or 62.08*16= $993.28 after 16 months.

Hence, even with the higher interest rate, Sally would pay:

1382.88-993.28 = $389.60 less if she chooses to work with Steve.

Though the monthly payments are almost same for the given timelines, still Sally can chose Steve.

One month,ruby worked 6 hours more than Isaac, and Svetlana worked 4 times as many hours as ruby. Together they worked 126 hours
wlad13 [49]
<span>The total number of hours worked between Ruby, Isaac, and Svetlana, hard-working friends with great names, is 126 and is equal to r + i + s. 126 = r + i + s. The relationships between Svetlana and Ruby's hours can be written as s = 4r. The relationship between Ruby and Isaac's hours can be written as r = i + 6, or i = r - 6. With these equations, we can return to the original equation and substitute for/ replace Svetlana and Isaac's hours so that the whole equation is in terms of r: 126 = (r) + (r-6) + (4r). Simplify this to 126 = 6r - 6 and then again to 132 = 6r and then at last to 22 = r, the number of hours that Ruby worked. Now returning to the other equations, we can plug in that r value to solve for i -- i = 22 - 6, or 16 hours for Isaac -- and for s -- s = 4(22), or a whopping 88 hours for Svetlana. We conclude that Isaac worked for 16 hours, Ruby worked for 22 hours, and Svetlana worked for 88 hours. 88 + 22 + 16 = 126 hours.</span>
