I really need help!

 

1. Leonardo will pay $484 to three different credit cards: Expert Card, Passport, and US Speedy. He will pay four times as much to Expert Card as US Speedy since it has a higher balance. He also expects the Passport payment to be only 10% of the total of the other payments. How much will Leonardo pay towards the Passport credit card balance?

x=Expert

1/4x = Speedy

.1(x + 1/4x) = passport

All added together = 484   then solve for 'x'

 

x + 1/4x +.1(x+1/4x) = 484

5/4x +.1x + .025x = 484

x=352

1/4x=88

passport=44

Let the payment to US Speedy be P........then the payment to Expert Car will be four ties as much = 4P

 

Note that the total payments to these two  = P + 4P  = 5P

 

And he pays only 10% of this to Passport =  .10 (5P)  = .5P

 

So....the total amount he will pay  =  5P + .5P    =  5.5P      ...  and we have that ....

 

5.5P = 484    divide both sides by 5.5

 

P = $88   this is the amount to US Speedy......and the amount he pays Passport  = .5P  = .5(88)  = $44

 

 

cool cool cool
