Emily wants to buy a car. She pays a deposit equal to 20% of the cost of the car. She will pay the balance in 8 equal payments of $5460 each month. How much does the car cost

the cost of the car is $54600

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of the car.

She pays a deposit equal to 20% of the cost of the car. This means that the amount of money that she paid as deposit would be

20/100 × x = 0.2 × x = 0.2x

The remaining balance would be

x - 0.2x = 0.8x

She will pay the balance in 8 equal payments of $5460 each month. This means that

0.8x/8 = 5460

0.1x = 5460

Dividing the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 0.1, it becomes

0.1x/0.1 = 5460/0.1

x = 54600

here

step-by-step explanation:

x > 1.3

step by step:

8.5−0.9x> 9.8−1.9x

step 1: simplify both sides of the inequality.

−0.9x+8.5> −1.9x+9.8

step 2: add 1.9x to both sides.

−0.9x+8.5+1.9x> −1.9x+9.8+1.9x

1x+8.5> 9.8

step 3: subtract 8.5 from both sides.

1x+8.5−8.5> 9.8−8.5

1x> 1.3

step 4: divide both sides by 1.

1x/1 > 1.3/1
