Answer:

Option B ,$133.92  is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

By consolidating both balances in Card B,APR of 12% would apply to funds in card A as well

Let us approach the question by solving for monthly payment of  Card A using   12% APR as follows while making use of excel pmt formula:

=pmt(rate,nper,-pv,fv)

rate is the monthly rate on the card which is 12%/12=1%

nper is the number of months of payment which is 12 months * 4 years=48

pv is the current balance in the card which is $1,389.47

fv is the total amount of monthly repayment which is taken as zero

=pmt(1%,48,-1389.47,0)=$ 36.59  

Using 16% monthly payment is $39.38  which is given already

Total monthly payments for 16%=$39.38*48=$1890.24

Total monthly payments for 12% APR=$36.59*48=$1756.32

savings in total repayments=savings in interest=$1890.24 -$1756.32 =$133.92

Write 0.00658 in standard form
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

0.00658 = 6.58 * 10^-3

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form is a way of writing numbers easily in powers of 10.

To write a number in standard form, we have to move the decimal point to the front of the first non zero number.

Depending on the position of the decimal point to the first non zero number, movement can be towards the right or towards the left. When we move towards the right, our power of 10 will be negative, when we move in the left direction, our power of 10 will be positive

In this question, we shall be moving towards the right. Thus, our power of 10 is negative. We shall be moving towards the right 3 three times

Thus our power would be 10^-3

Thus our standard form will be 6.58 * 10^-3

Kindly note that another pointer is, if the value of our number to be written in standard form is less than zero, then the standard form will come in negative powers of 10. If the value of the number is greater or equal to 1 at least, then then the standard form will be in positive powers of 10

7 times as much as the sum of 1/3 and 4/5
Vlada [557]
7( \frac{1}{3} +  \frac{4}{5} )

=7( \frac{1(5)}{3(5)} +  \frac{4(3)}{5(3)} )

=7( \frac{5}{15} +  \frac{12}{15} )

=7( \frac{17}{15})

=\frac{7}{1} ( \frac{17}{15})

=\frac{119}{15}

= 7\frac{14}{15} ≈ 7.93
