Current value of the boat = $45000
Rate at which the value decrease = 8.5%
Value decreased after 1 year = 
Hence, value becomes = 
Value decreased after 2nd year =

Hence, value becomes = 
Value decreased after 3 year =

Hence, value becomes = 
So, value of the boat after 3 years becomes $34472.74
Joe is positive 986 yards
Ziggy is negative 118 yards
the total difference is 986 +118 = 1,104 yards
Answer:q=575
Step-by-step explanation:
You would use the formula P(1+r/n)^nt=A I explained it in the picture and if the number is growing it is 1+r/n and if it’s not it is 1-r/n. Also if you don’t know the formula you can do it year by year which I also showed but it will take a long time and it’s easy to make a mistake. The answer would be A because if you plug the numbers into the formula you will get 4045.56 for plan b then you subtract 3000 and round, getting 1046. It is the formula of exponential growth/decay if you want to research further.
Hope this was what you’re looking for ^.^
