Kareem purchased a leather jacket for $800 with his new credit card. he budgeted $50 a month to pay toward the debt. when he read the fine print on the credit card statement, he saw that for each month he owed a balance, a finance charge of $17.50 would be added. if kareem pays $50 per month, how much money will the jacket actually cost?

1080

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, if he is paying 50 per month, we need to know the number of months it would take him to finish paying the money. Hence that would be 800/50 = 16 months

Now we know there is a surcharge of 17.5 for each month he owes a balance. The total balance he is to pay is thus 16 * 17.5 = 280

The total cost of the jacket is thus 800 + 280 = 1080

she will sew have sewn five dresses   and be 1/3 done with the sixth one in an hour.

step-by-step explanation:

3/4 of an hour=45 mins

lucy makes 1 dress per 11.25 minutes

45 mins+11.25 mins=56.25 mins

60 mins- 56.25 mins=3.75 mins

3.75 mins is 1/3 of of 11.25 mins

therefore she the other 1/3 would be part of the hour and she will have sewn 5 dresses and begun the sixth.
