The average smoker typically pays 15% higher life insurance costs than the average non-smoker. if the monthly cost to a non-smoker is $500 dollars per month, how much would the average smoker pay per month for the same life insurance policy?

$575 per month

Step-by-step explanation:

$500 x 15% = $75

(15% of 500 = $75)

therefore

500 + 75 = $575 a non smoker must pay for insurance

i'm a sophomore in connections, i'd recommend checking on jishka.com they have a large range of questions and answers from our school.

answer: integers are just whole numbers: positive, negative, and zero.

i = {-∞, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ∞}

let x = 1st integer

let y = 2nd integer

x = 3y + 17   {equation 1}

xy = -24         {equation 2}

substitute 3y+17 in place of x n equation 2

and solve for y.

(3y+17)y = -24

3y2 + 17y = -24

3y2 + 17y + 24 = 0

from quadratic equation:

y = [-17±√(172-4(3)(24))]/(2(3))

y = (-17 ±√1)/6

y = (-17+1)/6   or     y = (-17-1)/6

y = -16/6           or     y = -18/6

y = -2 2/3         or   y = -3

since we are dealing with

y = -3

x = 3y+17 = -9+17 = 8

the integers are -3, 8
