answer:

trang needs to plant 133 shrubs on friday to finish the job.

step-by-step explanation:

with the given data in the problem, we can set up an equation with a variable to solve for the number of shrubs that trang will need to plant on friday.   using a model:

m     t     w     th     f       total

84   92   87   104   ?         500

since we don't know the amount of shrubs on friday, we can make this our variable 'x'.   so, the following equation can be used to find 'x':  

84 + 92 + 87 + 104 + x = 500

combine like terms:   367 + x = 500

subtract 367 from both sides:   367 + x - 367 = 500 - 367

solve for 'x':   x = 133, which is the number of shrubs that need to be planted on friday to finish the job.  

answer:

260.42    

step-by-step explanation:

i =prt

where p is the principal

r is the interest rate = 12.5 % = .125

t = time   = 2 years

i = 5000* .125*2 =1250

the total cost   is the loan plus the interest

a = 5000+1250

    = 6250

divide by the 24 months

6250/24 =260.42
