He amount of money left in alma’s bank account is expressed by the linear equation y = -27x + 577, where x represents the number of weeks and y represents the amount of money left in her account. after how many weeks will alma have $145 left in her account?

After 16 weeks she will have 145 dollars left in her account.

Step-by-step explanation:

since 145 represents the amount of money in her account we will substitute that for "y" and solve for "x"

145=-27x+577

145-577=-27x

-432=-27x

-432/-27= -27x/-27

16=x

answer: the value should be used for i in the formula of calculation the monthly payment , the interest rate per period is 0.85.

step-by-step explanation:

the given rate of interest i= 85%

in calculating the monthly payment for a loan with an interest rate compounded monthly, the value of the interest rate per period we use in the formula must be in decimal form.

to convert it in decimal, we divide it by 100, we get

hence, the value should be used for i in the formula of calculation the monthly payment , the interest rate per period is 0.85.
