A savings account for a car is set up with an initial balance of $3000, and 125 is added every month (no other transactions occur on the account).
1. Write the expression:
2. Write the equation equal to the $5,000 car goal:
3. M=
4. How long will it take:

1) 3000 + 125m

2) 3000 + 125m = 5000

3) M= 16

4) It would take 16 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay so no since there are no other transaction and you already have a balance of 3000 with a monthly Fee of 125 the equation shpuld be like this.

So every month you add 125,we dont know how much months we have to pay so we can use the variable given to us in this case “M”. So your base expression should look like this,

3000 + 125m (3000 base fee that doesnt change, and 125 every month fee)

Then it asked us to put it as the final balance as 5000, so using the base expression we can do this

3000 + 125m = 5000

Now to solve it you would solve it like any other equation

5000-3000=2000

2000=125m

2000/125= 16

Okay so m = 16

M in this case stands for months so the final answer would be it would take 16 months to reach the final balance of 5000

275

Step-by-step explanation:

Unknown number is a

40% of a=110

40/100 x a=110

40a/100=110

Cross multiplying we get

40a=100 x 110

40a=11000

Divide both sides by 40

40a/40=11000/40

a=275
