The approximate original price of the car is $23032

<h3>How to determine the original price?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Rate, r = 8%

Price at 4 years old = 16,500

An exponential function is represented as:

y = a(1 - r)^x

Where a represents the initial value

This gives

y = a(1 - 8%)^x

Evaluate

y = a(0.92)^x

At 4 years old, we have:

16500 = a(0.92)^4

Divide both sides by (0.92)^4

a = 23032

Hence, the approximate original price of the car is $23032

Is my awnser is 73.97$ what's the 6.25% tax I have to convert 6.25 to a decimal CASLAN

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

Not sure I understand your question.

If the tax rate is 6.25% and you need the tax from $73.97, tax is:

= 6.25% * 73.97

= $4.62

Converting 6.25% to decimal.

First understand that when a percent sign(%) is next to a number it means that the number is a fraction and its denominator is 100.

6.25% = 6.25/100

To convert to decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator:

= 6.25 ÷ 100

= 0.0625

CD has the endpoints C(3, 2) and D(–5, –2). Charlie wants to place the point E at the point that partitions this line segment in

Ganezh [65]

So ... notice the picture below... the ratio is 3:1 from C to D, meaning the segment CE takes 3 units, whilst the ED segment takes 1

anyhow

$\bf \textit{internal division of a line segment}
\\ \quad \\\\
C(3,2)\qquad D(-5,-2)\qquad
ratio1=3\qquad ratio2=1\qquad 3:1
\\\\\\
\cfrac{C\underline{ E }}{\underline{ E }D}=\cfrac{ratio1}{ratio2}\implies 
ratio2\cdot C=ratio1\cdot D
\\\\\\
1(3,2)=3(-5,-2)
\\ \quad \\\\
{{ E=\left(\cfrac{\textit{sum of "x" values}}{ratio1+ratio2}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{\textit{sum of "y" values}}{ratio1+ratio2}\right)}}$

$\bf \qquad thus
\\\\\\
E=\left(\cfrac{(1\cdot 3)+(3\cdot -5)}{3+1}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{(1\cdot 2)+(3\cdot -2)}{3+1}\right)$
