Savings and Loan Counselor:

A customer wishes to borrow $30,000, make monthly payments

of interest only, and pay the full amount of the principal at the

end of the term. If the interest rate is 12% annually, what are the

monthly payments for a five-year term?

Step-by-step explanation:

A.

Cost of 4 lots for $48,000= 48000*4

=$192,000

Sales made from all 7 lots = 33000*7

= $213,000

Profit =213,000-192,000

Profit =$39,000

Percent profit =(39000/192000) *100

=0.20*100

=20%

B.

Total interest formula=

Principal Loan Amount x Interest Rate x Time

Interest =30000x0.12x5

Interest = $18,000

Monthly payments for 5 years

= 18000/12*5

=18000/60

=$300

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
