Question

Orlando bought a new couch for $2,904, using the furniture store's finance plan. He will pay $121 a month for 24 months. Which equation can Orlando use to find out how much money he still owes after each month of the plan?

Select one:
a. y=2,904+121x

b. y=2904−121x

c. y=121x−2,904

d. y=121x

Answer 1

So we want to know how much Orlando owes, here's the answer:

Since he pays 121$ every month, the formula would be this:


`y = 2,904 - 121x`, if we consider x = months.

So the answer is B,
`y = 2,904 - 121x`

Hope this helped! c:

Answer 2

b.
`y=2904-121x`

Explanation:

Cost of the couch = $2904

Orlando will pay for 24 months = $121

The equation that Orlando can use to find out how much money he still owes after each month of the plan will be :

`y=2904-121x`

Let us check this :

Let us take x = 1

`y=2904-121` = $2783 left to pay

Let us take x = 2

`y=2904-121(2)` = $2662 left to pay

Let us check x = 4

`y=2904-121(4)` = $2420 left to pay

Therefore, option B is correct.
