Billy’s grandfather gave him $1,200 when he turned 16 towards buying a new car that he wanted, which cost $25,000. He saved $500 a month from his job as a computer programmer. Write a function you would use to calculate how long would it take before he could buy the car and provide the answer? Round you answer to the nearest 10th.

500X+1200=25000

X is the month count

answer is 47.6 months

step-by-step explanation:

the original amount doesn't ''re just looking for the time it takes for 1/2 of the substance to we have

(1/2) =)     take the ln   of both sides

ln (1/2)   = )   and we can write

ln(1/2) = ) lne     and lne   = 1     so we have

ln(1/2) = -.1092t     divide both sides by -.1092

t = ln(1/2)/-.1092 = about 6.347 days = about 6.3 days (rounded)
