Answer 1

The cost of the horse given the amount received at the end of 6 months is 600

How to find the value of the horse?

let

• h = value of the horse

6/12 × 1200 + 6h/12 = 400 + h

700 + 6h / 12 = 400 + h

700 - 400 = h - 6h/12

300 = 12h - 6h / 12

300 = 6h/12

• cross product

300 × 12 = 6h

3600 = 6h

h = 3600 / 6

h = 600
