They estimate that their current (older) fridge, which they got for free, costs them about $19 a month in electricity charges to operate. They found a new fridge that costs $1,020 to purchase and would cost only around $6 a month in electricity charges.
Garrett and Judy Kay are considering buying a new fridge to replace their older one.
The new fridge comes with a 10-year warranty, so they assume the new fridge to last for 10 years without any extra repair or replacement fees.

If they keep their old fridge, then they assume they will need to pay around $220 sometime over the next 10 years in maintenance costs to keep it running.

(For this comparison, assume they set aside the money to maintain the old fridge right at the beginning of the 10 years, even though they probably won't need the money until several years later.)

Answer:

Buying a new fridge is more beneficial

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of month be x 

19x = 1020 +6x 

19x -6x = 1020 

13x = 1020 

x = 1020/13 = 78.4 months 

This means after 78.4 months the cost of both will be same.

78.4 months is approx 6.5 years which is lesser than 10 years. 

Buying new fridge will be more beneficial.

F=ma

where F=force

m=mass

a=acceleration

Here,

F=4300

a=3.3m/s2

m=F/a

    =4300/3.3

    =1303.03kg

Let the father's age be x and son's be y

10 years before-

Father age=x-10

sons age=y-10

Given,

x-10=10(y-10)

x-10=10y-100

Given present age of father=40

therefore,

x=40

40-10=10y-100

10y-100=30

10y=130

y=130/10

y=13

Therefore present age of son=13years

Volume of rectangular prism=length * width * height

Given,

length=3/8cm

breadth=5/8cm

height=7/8cm

therefore volume=(3/8)*(5/8)*(7/8)

                           =105/512 cm3
