25. belle had the choice of taking out a 4-year car loan at
8.5% simple interest or a 5-year car loan at 7.75%
simple interest. if she borrows $15,000, how much
interest would she pay for each loan? which option
will require less interest?

the first loan is cheaper

Step-by-step explanation:

convert percent values to decimals

8.5/100=.085

7.75/100=.0775

find the value for the first loan

1550*.085*4=527

find the value for the first loan

1550*.0775*5=600.625

option 1 is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

y varies inversely with x and constant of variation is 4

the equation will be:

y = k/x

where k =4 so,

y = 4/x

if we put values of x of option 1 in the above equation and find values of y

y = 4/-2 => y =-2

y = 4/-1 => y = -4

y = 4/1 => y = 4

y = 4/2 => y =2

so, all the values of x and y are correct.

if we put values of x given in other options and find value of y we cannot find whole table satisfying the equation.

hence option 1 is correct.

square root of 36/6 = 2.449489743

square root of 16/6 = 1.632993162

square root of 6 = 2.449489743

the answer is square root of 16/6 because the square root of 36/6 is the same answer as square root of 6 = 2.449489743
