Jamal buys a new racing bicycle. Two shops charge the same price for the bicycle but offer different payment plans. Shop 1 requires $260 down and a monthly payment of $20. Shop 2 requires $140 down and a monthly payment of $30. Write an equation to represent the payment plans where m is the number of months payments are made.

Shop 1 = $260 + $20m

Shop 2 = $140 + $30m

Step-by-step explanation:

m = number of months payments are made

Total payment made = down payment + monthly payment

Shop 1 requires $260 down and a monthly payment of $20.

Shop 1 = $260 + $20m

= 260 + 20m

Shop 2 requires $140 down and a monthly payment of $30.

Shop 2 = $140 + $30m

= 140 + 30m

The equations that represent the payments plans are:

Shop 1 = $260 + $20m

Shop 2 = $140 + $30m

answer: since the question is talking about growth you have to use the growth formula which is inital amount (1 + growth)^time

step-by-step explanation:

the intial amount is 1200, the growth is 4.8, and the time is 7. plug those numbers into the equation, also i think you have to change 4.8 into a percent. but, i have forgotton how to do that. if this is a online class go on to the lesson.
