Answer:

$42.60

Step-by-step explanation:

|Here's why!|

Step 1. Figure out what formula you need to use, plug in the percentage as a decimal like this.

Formula = ( 1 - (decimal) = Number for step 2

so 1 - .15 = .85

Step 2. Divide the sales price by the new number we have!

Formula = (sales price) ÷ (the number you get from formula 1)

so $36.21 divided by .85 = $42.60!

To check your work do 42.60 x 0.15 = 6.39 then subtract

do 42.60 - 6.39 and you get 36.21!

Hope this helped!

As AB and ED are parallel, they have the same slope. This means that since lines that are colllinear with parallel segments are parallel, lines l and m are parallel.

PLEASE HELP the formula m=12,000+12,000rt/12t gives keri's monthly loan payment where t is the annual interest rate and t is the

tatiyna

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula m = (12,000 + 12,000rt)/12t gives Keri's monthly loan payment, where r is the annual interest rate and t is the length of the loan, in years. Keri decides that she can afford, at most, a $275 monthly car payment. Give an example of an interest rate greater than 0% and a loan length that would result in a car payment Keri could afford. Provide support for your answer.

Answer: Let us assume an annual interest rate (r) = 10% = 0.1. The maximum monthly payment (m) Keri can afford is $275. i.e. m ≤ $275. Using the monthly loan payment formula, we can calculate a loan length that would result in a car payment Keri could afford.

$m=\frac{12000+12000rt}{12t}\\ but\ m\leq275, \ and \ r=10\%=0.1\\275= \frac{12000+12000(0.1)t}{12t}\\275= \frac{12000}{12t} +\frac{12000(0.1)}{12t}\\275= \frac{1000}{t} + 100\\275-100= \frac{1000}{t} \\175= \frac{1000}{t} \\175t = 1000\\t= \frac{1000}{175}\\ t=5.72\ years$
