Completing correctly the statement and the questions:

Harry pays US$ 150 monthly to the bank, after 10 months his remaining debt was US$ 6,900. Question A: What was the original amount of Harry's debt?, question B. How long (in months) did it take Harry to pay back his entire debt?

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to answer the questions correctly:

Monthly payment = US$ 150

Months that Harry had paid = 10

Balance after 10 months = US$ 6,900

2. Let's calculate the original amount

Original amount = Balance after 10 months + (Monthly payment * Months already paid)

Original amount = 6,900 + (150 *10)

Original amount = 6,900 + 1,500

Original amount = 8,400

3. Let's calculate how long did it take Harry to pay back his entire debt

Time to pay the entire debt in months = Balance after 10 months/ Monthly payment

Time to pay the entire debt in months =6,900/ 150

Time to pay the entire debt in months = 46

1 x=22.52

2: 65/39=604+39x

65x-39x=604

26x=604

x=604/26

×=23.23

hi! i think the answer is 1/2 : )
