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 two payments. How much will Leonardo pay towards the Passport credit card balance? A. $88.00 B. $48.40 C. $352.00 D. $44.00

Respuesta :

D. Leonardo pays $44 towards his passport.
352/4 = 88
352 + 88 = 440
440 x .10 = 44
440 + 44 = $484

Answer:

D. $44.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the payment for US Speedy = x dollars,

According to the question,

Payment for Expert Card = 4x,

Payment for passport = 10% of (x + 4x)

= 10% of 5x

[tex]=\frac{10\times 5x}{100}[/tex]

= 0.5x

Thus, the total payment = x + 4x + 0.5x

= 5.5x

Again according to the question,

5.5x = 484

[tex]x=\frac{484}{5.5}[/tex]

⇒ x = 88

Hence, the payment for passport = 0.5 × 88 = $ 44

OPTION D is correct.
