How long does it take to pay off the higher-interest card?

Mathematics
1 answer:
madreJ [45]2 years ago
3 0

1. It takes 5 months to pay off the higher-interest card first.

2. The amount of the last payment on the higher-interest card is $232.89.  It is the balance plus interest in the fifth month.

3. After paying down the debt on the lower-interest card in the 5th month, the balance of the lower-interest card is $338.77.  

The principal has been reduced.  The interest is worked on the reduced principal.

4. If the lower-interest card is paid off first, while the interest on the higher-interest card is paid, the tables would look like the following:

<h3>Higher-Interest Card:</h3>

Month                          1            2             3              4               5        6        7

Principal                1,311.48   1,311.48  1,297.73 1,028.80 732.71   406.71 47.79

Interest accrued    132.46    132.46      131.07    103.91   74.00     41.08  4.83

Payment                132.46    146.21    400.00   400.00 400.00  400.00  52.62

Ending balance   1,311.48  1,297.73 1,028.80    732.71  406.71     47.79    0

<h3>Lower-Interest Card:</h3>

Month                        1              2               3               4              5             6  

Principal                475.00   238.34         0            0         0          0    

Interest accrued     30.88      15.49         0            

Payment               267.54    253.79         0              

Ending balance   238.34        0                0   0  

5. The savings by paying off the higher-interest card first is $91.86.  This is the difference in interest by choosing to pay off the higher-interest card first before the lower-interest card.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Higher-Interest Card:

Month                                     1          2                 3           4               5        6  

Principal                        1,311.48    1074.82    814.26    527.38     211.53      

Interest accrued            132.46      108.56     82.24      53.27       21.36      

Payment (on due date) 369.12      369.12    369.12     369.12   232.89      

Ending balance          1,074.82      814.26   527.38      211.53       0      

Lower-Interest Card:

Month                        1              2               3               4              5             6  

Principal                475.00   475.00     475.00     475.00   475.00     338.77    

Interest accrued     30.88     30.88       30.88       30.88     30.88       22.02    

Payment                  30.88    30.88        30.88       30.88     167.11     360.79  

Ending balance    475.00  475.00     475.00     475.00   338.77         0  

Total interest incurred under each method:

Higher-interests:

1st method: 132.46    132.46      131.07    103.91   74.00     41.08  4.83 = $619.81

2nd method:  132.46      108.56     82.24      53.27       21.36    = $397.89

Lower-interests:

1st method:  30.88      15.49         0       $46.37

2nd method: 30.88     30.88       30.88       30.88     30.88       22.02 $176.43

$619.81 + $46.37 = $666.18

$397.89 + $176.43 = $574.32

Difference = $91.86

<h3>Question completion:</h3>

Card Name    (APR %)    Existing Balance     Credit Limit

MarK2             (6.5%)             $475.00             $3,000.00

Bee4               (10.1%)             $1,311.48            $2,500.00

You have $400.00 each month to payoff these 2 credit cards. You decide to pay only the interest on the lowest interest card and the remaining amount to the other card.

A bag contains lettered tiles. the theoretical probability of choosing a vowel is 40%. the bag contains 78 consonants. how many
zepelin [54]

The total number of ties present in the bag are 130.

<h3>What is probability?</h3>

Calculating or estimating how likely something is to occur is what probability is all about. The likelihood of an event occurring can be expressed using words like "certain," "impossible," or "probable."

Formula for probability is -

Probability(Event) = Favourable Outcomes/Total Outcomes

It P(E) is the probability for occurring any event.

'x' be the favourable outcome.

'n' be the total outcome.

Then,

P(E) = x/n.

Calculation for the total tiles present the bag.

The probability of choosing a vowel is 40% = 0.4.

Then, the probability of choosing a consonants will be 1 - 0.4 = 0.6 or 60%.

Let P(E) be the probability of the occurrence of the consonants.

Then,

P(E) = total number of consonants/total tiles in the bag.

Let 'T' be the total tiles in the bag.

0.6 = 78/T

T = 78/0.6

T = 130

Therefore, the total tiles present in the bag are 130.

Which expression represents the distance between the points (11, 4) and (5,8)?
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

\displaystyle d = 2\sqrt{13}

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

  1. Brackets
  2. Parenthesis
  3. Exponents
  4. Multiplication
  5. Division
  6. Addition
  7. Subtraction
  • Left to Right<u> </u>

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Coordinates (x, y)

<u>Algebra II</u>

  • Distance Formula: \displaystyle d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

Point (11, 4) → x₁ = 11, y₁ = 4

Point (5, 8) → x₂ = 5, y₂ = 8

<u>Step 2: Find distance </u><em><u>d</u></em>

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the distance formula to find distance <em>d</em>

  1. Substitute in points [Distance Formula]:                                                       \displaystyle d = \sqrt{(5-11)^2+(8-4)^2}
  2. [√Radical] (Parenthesis) Subtract:                                                                 \displaystyle d = \sqrt{(-6)^2+(4)^2}
  3. [√Radical] Evaluate exponents:                                                                    \displaystyle d = \sqrt{36+16}
  4. [√Radical] Add:                                                                                               \displaystyle d = \sqrt{52}
  5. [√Radical] Simplify:                                                                                         \displaystyle d = 2\sqrt{13}
