In Exercises 3-4 involve credit cards that calculate interest using the average daily balance method. The monthly inetest rate is 1.2% of the average daily balance. Each exercise shows transactions that occurred during the June 1-June 30 billing period. In each exercises,
a. Find the average daily balance for the billing period. Round to the nearest cent.
b. Find the interest to be paid on July 1, the next billing date. Round to the nearest cent.
c. Find the balance due on July 1.
d. this credit card requires a $30 minimum monthly payment if the balance due at the end of the billing period is less than $400. Otherwise, the minimum monthly payment is $$ of the balance due at the end of the billing period, rounded up to the nearest whole dollar. What is the minimum monthly payment due by July 9?

- A tank holds a 135 gal solution of water and salt. Initially, the solution contains 21 lb of salt. A salt solution with a concentration of 3 lb of salt per gal begins flowing into the tank at the rate of 3 gal per minute. The solution in the tank also begins flowing out at a rate of 3 gal per minute. Let y be the amount of salt present in the tank at time t. (a) Find an expression for the amount of salt in the tank at any time. (b) How much salt is present after 51 minutes? (c) As time increases, what happens to the salt concentration?arrow_forwardpls helparrow_forwardpls helparrow_forward
