$1500
$7500
$15000
$6150
The loan is for five years, which means that the total number of payments will be 5 x 12 = 60.
The interest rate is 5% per year, so the monthly interest rate is 5%/12 = 0.41667%.
Using an amortization calculator, the monthly payment for the loan is $113.39.
The total amount owed for the car is 60 x $113.39 = $6803.40.
Therefore, the correct answer is not given in the options. However, the closest one is $6150, which is not correct in this case.
A faucet is leaking at a rate of 0.8 gallon per hour. Write a rule to find the volume of water that will leak in 3 hours. Let w represent the volume of water and let t represent the number of hours.

The rule to find the volume of water that will leak in 3 hours would be:
w = rt
where w is the volume of water in gallons, r is the rate of leakage in gallons per hour, and t is the time in hours.
Substituting the given values, we get:
w = 0.8 x 3
w = 2.4 gallons
Therefore, the volume of water that will leak in 3 hours is 2.4 gallons.
Which of the following sequences is an arithmetic sequence?

–1, 2, 5, 8, . . .
6, 9, 5, 8, 4, 7, . .
5, 20, 80, 320, . .
100, 10, 0.1, 0.01, . .
The sequence -1, 2, 5, 8,... is an arithmetic sequence.
To check if a sequence is arithmetic, we need to see if there is a common difference between consecutive terms.
In this sequence, we can see that the common difference between consecutive terms is 3.
-1 + 3 = 2
2 + 3 = 5
5 + 3 = 8
Therefore, the correct answer is: -1, 2, 5, 8,...
The most likely author's purpose in writing an article explaining the importance of voting is to inform and to persuade.
To determine the author's purpose, we need to focus on the main goal or intention of the article. In this case, the article is explaining the importance of voting, which suggests that the author intends to provide information to the readers. This aligns with the purpose of informing the audience. Additionally, the author might also aim to persuade the readers to understand and acknowledge the significance of voting as a civic duty and encourage them to participate in the electoral process.
On the other hand, the purposes of recording, entertaining, and evaluating do not seem to fit within the context of an article explaining the importance of voting.
