Josh has $500 in his savings account. He deposits $25 into his savings account each month. He purchased home theater equipment f

or $1,600. The store he bought the equipment from offered him a $1,600 interest-free loan for 24 months. He pays off $80 of the loan every month from his checking account (not his savings account). How many months will it take for Josh to have enough money in his savings account to pay off the entire outstanding amount for his purchase? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. A. 8 months B. 10 months C. 20 months D. 24 months

Answer:

  B. 10 months

Step-by-step explanation:

The balance on the loan will be ...

  b = 1600 - 80t . . . . . . where t is the number of months of payments

The balance in the savings account will be ...

  s = 500 + 25t

The savings account balance will be at least as much as the loan balance when ...

  s ≥ b

  500 +25t ≥ 1600 -80t . . . substitute the account balance expressions

  105t ≥ 1100 . . . . . . . . . . . . add 80t -500

  t ≥ 1100/105 ≈ 10.48 ≈ 10

It will take Josh 10 months to have enough savings to pay the loan in full.

_____

<em>Comment on rounding</em>

IMO, it makes no sense to round down, as Josh will NOT have enough in 10 months. He will have enough after he makes one more payment of $80. At 10 months, the loan balance is $50 more than the savings balance. It will be 11 months before there is enough savings to pay off the loan.

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

95.4% of family vehicles is between 1 and 3 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 2

Standard Deviation, σ = 6 months = 0.5 year

We are given that the distribution of age of cars is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

P(family vehicles is between 1 and 3 years old)

P(1 \leq x \leq 3)\\\\ = P(\displaystyle\frac{1 - 2}{0.5} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{3-2}{0.5}) = P(-2 \leq z \leq 2)\\\\= P(z \leq 2) - P(z < -2)\\= 0.977 -0.023 = 0.954= 95.4\%

P(1 \leq x \leq 3) = 95.4%

95.4% of family vehicles is between 1 and 3 years old.

The degree measure of angle a is 135°. which expression below is equivalent to the radian measure of angle a?
Kazeer [188]

It is given that \angle a=135^{\circ}.

Now, know that in 180 degrees there are \pi radians. This can be written as:

180^{\circ}=\pi radians

\therefore 1^{\circ}=\frac{\pi}{180} radians (dividing both sides by 180)

Thus, to find the measure of the given angle of 135^{\circ} in radians, we will have to multiply the above equation by 135. Thus, we get:

135^{\circ}=\frac{\pi}{180}\times 135 radians

135^{\circ}\approx2.356 radians

Thus, equivalent to the radian measure of angle a is 2.356
