I am just completely lost on this one. I am not coming up with anything close to what I should be.

A mortgage at 18% interest compounded monthly with a monthly payment of $500 has an unpaid balance of $5035.56 after 109 months. Find the unpaid balance after 110 months.

I used:
i=.015
n = 110
R = $500

P = [1-(1+i)^-n/i]*R

Please help.

If I am paying a down payment of $300 and payments of $200 per month for 3 years with an interest rate of 12% compounded monthly, how do I calculate the cost of the car?

Am I on the right track using:

F=[(1+i)^n-1/i]*R+down payment = $8,915.38

awww I see the issue of the confusion. I did not type in the whole problem. 4 more were sold. Not just more were sold.

Sorry everyone.

Which one that I picked for the issue of the TV's? I posted my answer in the thread. I didn't use a formula, I did a process of evaluation being that 4 more were sold than the other and the total received was provided.

I am stumped again.

Find the equation of line L in standard form. L is parallel to y=1/3x.
I am not sure why I am thrown off. It shows line L with a point of (2,4)

I have y=-x+6 and I know that can't be correct because the slopw is 1/3 so is it y=-1/3x+6
I am really confused.
Please help to see what the answer is and why so that I can understand.

Thanks everyone. I did find the answer though it was painful as I could not figure out the formula.

28 15" TV's at $250 = $14000
24 19"TV's at $500 =  $ 6000
52 total TV's           = $20000

I don't know why but I am stuck on this problem. Can someone please help?
An appliance store sells a 15" TV for $250 and a 19" TV for $500. During a one-week period the store sold more 19" TVs than 15" TVs and collected $20,000. What was the total number of TV sets sold?

It is excel and not an image so I don't think that I can up load them. Ugh!!!

Please help. I did work this through but something is telling me that I did it incorrectly.

A sample of 27 blue jellybeans with a mean wt of 0.850 g was taken. Assume that the standard deviation is known to be 0.0565 g. Consider the hypothesis test that uses a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the mean wt of all jellybeans is equal to 0.8545 g. ( the wt necessary so that bags of jellybeans have the weight printed on the package). Assume the weight of the jellybeans is normally distributed.
(a) What is the test statistic?
I got .32
(b) What are the critical values?
I got -0.99,0.99
(c) What is the P-value?
I got .7490
(d) what is the final conclusion?
I got
Fail to reject H0, There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the mean weight of jellybeans is equal to 0.8545 g.

In a region, 70% of the population have brown eyes. If 14 people are rondomly selected, find the probability that at least 12 of them have brown eyes. Is it unusual to randomly select 14 people and find that at least 12 of them have brown eyes? Why or why not?
