Answer: The students can be divided into 7 groups.

Each group will have 3 boys and 8 girls.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 21 boys and 56 girls.

To divide them so that each group has the same number of both boys and girls.

We find GCD(21,56).

21 = 3 x 7

56 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 7

GCD (21,56) = 7

So, the students can be divided into 7 groups.

Number of girls in each group = $\dfrac{56}{7}=8$

Number of boys in each group = $\dfrac{21}{7}=3$

So, each group will have 3 boys and 8 girls.

A customer borrowed $2000 and then a further $1000 both repayable in 12 months. What should he have saved if he had taken out on

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

a. $60

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use simple interest formula to solve our given problem.

$A=P(1+rt)$ , where

A= Amount after t years.

P= Principal amount.

r= Interest rate in decimal form.

t= Time in years.

Let us find amount of loans repayable after 12 months for taking two amounts of $2000 and $1000.

As $2000 and $1000 are less than 2500, so the rate of loan will be 10%.

$10\%=\frac{10}{100}=0.10$

12 months = 1 year.

$A=2000(1+0.10\times 1)$

$A=2000(1+0.10)$

$A=2000(1.10)$

$A=2200$

Now let us find amount repayable after 12 months for borrowing $1000.

$A=1000(1+0.10\times 1)$

$A=1000(1+0.10)$

$A=1000(1.10)$

$A=1100$

Adding these amounts we will get total repayable amount after 12 months for borrowing $2000 and $1000 separately.

$\text{Amount repayable for borrowing two separate amounts}=2200+1100=3300$

Now let us find repayable amount after 12 months for taking 1 loan. As $3000 is between $2501 and $7500, so rate of loan will be 8%.

$8\%=\frac{8}{100}=0.08$

$A=3000(1+0.08\times 1)$

$A=3000(1+0.08)$

$A=3000(1.08)$

$A=3240$

Now let us find difference between both repayable loan amounts.

$\text{Difference between both repayable loan amounts}=3300-3240$

$\text{Difference between both repayable loan amounts}=60$

Therefore, the customer should have saved $60, if he had taken out one loan for $3000 and option a is the correct choice.
