2. What is your monthly payment?

* Please explain how you got the answer*

9514 1404 393

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The finance charge is found from the simple interest formula;

  I = Prt

where P is the principal amount, r is the annual rate, and t is the number of years.

24 months is 2 years, so the interest charged is ...

  I = $1900×0.08×2 = $304

The finance charge is $304.

2. The monthly payment will be the total amount due, divided by the number of months.

  payment = ($1900 +304)/24 = $2204/24 ≈ $91.83

The monthly payment is $91.83.

isaiah walks 3 miles due north, turns and then 5 miles due east. how far is he from his starting point?

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

let c = distance from starting point.

(3)^2 + (5)^2 = c^2

9 + 25 = c^2

34 = c^2

sqrt{34} = sqrt{c^2}

sqrt{34} = c
