Barry also looks into the cost of repaying an easy access loan for $1000. The up-front cost of the loan is $3 for every $20 borrowed, plus the original $1000. How much will this loan cost Barry in interest.

Barry has to pay back $1150

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up an equation to help solve this problem

x is the amount he has to pay back

x=1000+3(1000/20)

1000/20 lets us know how many times he borrowed 20 dollars

x=1000+3(50)

x=1000+150

x=1150

Barry has to pay back $1150

x ≥ 18 is your answer

step-by-step explanation:

let "a number" = x

(2/3)x + 17 ≥ 29

isolate the variable (x). do the opposite of pemdas (parenthesis, exponent (& root), multiplication, division, addition, subtraction).

first, subtract 17 from both sides.

(2/3)x + 17 (-17) ≥ 29 (-17)

(2/3)x ≥ 29 - 17

(2/3)x ≥ 12

next, multiply 3/2 to both sides to isolate the x

(3/2)(2/3)x ≥ 12(3/2)

x ≥ 12(3/2)

simplify. multiply, then divide

x ≥ (12 * 3)/2

x ≥ (36)/2

x ≥ 18

x ≥ 18 is your answer
