Answer:

A. The value of his investment decreased by 16% during this time period.

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this problem, suppose an amount n.

After a year in value of the investment is:

0.84n

Now we calculate the rate of change of n with the following formula:

V = \frac{Final\ Amount - Initial\ Amount}{Initial\ Amount}

V = \frac{0.84n-n}{n}*100\%\\\\V = \frac{n(0.84-1)}{n}*100\%\\\\V = (0.84-1)*100\%\\\\V = -0.16 * 100\%\\\\V = -16\%

The value of the investment decreased by 16% with respect to the initial amount.

The correct answer is the option

A. The value of his investment decreased by 16% during this time period.

How to calculate a probability
Lelu [443]
Probability is calculated by comparing the odds to a certain event occurring to the number of possible events.

P=\frac{possibility-of-an-event-occuring}{number-of-total-outcomes}

For example, take a six-sided dice number 1-6 on each side. The probability of rolling a 4 would be1 in 6 or 1/6. This is because of the six possible outcomes, rolling a 4 is only one of them.

P(4)=1/6

Now take the same dice. The probability of rolling an even number is 3/6. To see why, lets look at the total possible outcomes:

1
2
3
4
5
6

Of the 6 possibilities, 3 are even numbers.

P(even)=3/6 or 1/2

Peter is trying to buy fencing for the perimeter of his garden. His garden is in the shape of a rectangle with a length of 2(x+6
MAVERICK [17]

Given that, the length of the garden is 2(x+6)feet and width is 3.5x feet.

So, length : l = 2(x+6) and width = 3.5x.

To find the fence of the garden we need to find the perimeter of the rectangle.

Formula to find the perimeter is:

p = 2l + 2b

= 2*2(x+6) + 2*3.5x

= 4(x+6) + 7x By multiplication.

= 4x + 24 + 7x By distribution property.

= 11x + 24 Combining the like terms.

So, he need to buy 11x + 24 feet fencing.

Hope this helps you!
