Answer 1

Answer:

1.) [B]

2.) [C]

(3.) [D]                            

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) Initial amount = $3168

Annual percentage rate = 12.75

per month percentage rate = 1.06%

Interest after 3 months =  P*R*T/100

                                      = 3168*1.06*3/100

                                      = 100.74 (aprox)

Balance after 3 months = 3168-100.74

                                        = $3270.06 (aprox) (B.)

2.) Gross pay = $2759

Total interest rate = 7.65%+12%+7% =  26.65%

interest amount= 26.65% *2759 =$728.24 (aprox)

Housing and fixing expenses= $728.54  (C.)

3.) 1 hour = $8.25

1 week= 35 hours

3 weeks = 35*3 hours = 105 hours

Total income= 105 hours = $8.25*105= $866.25

Total interest to be deducted = 7.65+13+9 = 29.65 %

Income after deducting interest =  $866.25-256.843 = $609.407

(D.)
