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.

Find the value of x that makes ABCD a parallelogram.
olganol [36]

The angle 5x will be 50⁰. Then the correct option is D.

<h3>What is a parallelogram?</h3>

It is a polygon with four sides. The total interior angle is 360 degrees. A parallelogram's opposite sides are parallel and equal.

The diagram is given below.

We know the sum of internal angles is 360 degrees.

Then we have

5x + 130 + 5x + 130 = 360

                         10x = 100

                             x = 10

Then the angle 5x will be

5x = 5(10)

5x = 50⁰

Then the correct option is D.

More about the parallelogram link is given below.

In how many ways can five children posing for a photograph line up in a row?
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

number of ways = 120

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of ways five children can pose for a photograph line up in a row is given by the number of permutations of 5 elements in 5 different positions (positions in the line), then

number of ways = number of permutations of 5 elements = 5! = 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 120

Since the first children that occupies the line can be on any of the positions (5 positions) , but then the second one can choose any of the 4 remaining positions (since the first children had already occupied one) , the third can choose 3 ... and so on.
