3. the grocery store sells kumquats for $5.00 a pound and asian pears for $3.25 a
pound. write an equation in standard form for the weights of kumquats k and
asian pears p that a customer could buy with $18.
a 5 +3.25 = k
b 5p + 3.25k = 18
c 5k + 3.25p = 18
d 5k = 3.25p + 18

c. 5k + 3.25p = 18

This equation makes sense because we will multiply the price of kumquats by the amount of pounds of kumquats, and add that value to the price of pears times the amount of pears.  And that number should equal 18.  

answer: the value should be used for i in the formula of calculation the monthly payment , the interest rate per period is 0.85.

step-by-step explanation:

the given rate of interest i= 85%

in calculating the monthly payment for a loan with an interest rate compounded monthly, the value of the interest rate per period we use in the formula must be in decimal form.

to convert it in decimal, we divide it by 100, we get

hence, the value should be used for i in the formula of calculation the monthly payment , the interest rate per period is 0.85.
