Answer:

They are both correct

Step-by-step explanation:

It's interpretation of the concept. In common practice multiplying by 10 means you add a zero and that's what we teach 10 year olds. But what does adding a zero mean? It means adding a place value and that's what you learn when you are

So in both examples just add a decimal:

2.0 x 10 = 20.

0.2 x 10 = 2.0

In conclusion, it depends on the level of precision required in the discussion and the level of maturity as to who is correct in their examples. If you are teaching 3rd graders math, by all means you add a zero. If you are discussing physics you are shifting over a place value.

The general equation for depreciation is given by y = A(1 – r)t, where y = current value, A = original cost, r = rate of depreci
irina1246 [14]
Analyzing the given values and the given equation, we have the following:
A = $25,000
r = 0.11
t = 6

The equation has the form:
y = A (1-r)^t
Plugging in the given values into the equation,
y = $25,000 (1 - 0.11)^6
y = $25,000 (0.89)^6

Therefore, the answer is
A. y=25,000(.89)^6
