The formula for depreciation is:

y=x(1-r)^t

Where x = Initial value,

y= Amount after depreciation.

r= Rate of depreciation,

t = time (in years)

According to given problem,

x = 1040, y= 944 and t = 12 months =1 year.

So, first step is to plug in these values in the above formula, So,

944 = 1040(1-r)^1

944 = 1040 (1 -r)

\frac{944}{1040} =1-r Divide each sides by 1040.

0.907692308 =1 - r

0.907692308 - 1 = -r Subtract 1 from each sides.

-0.092307692 = -r

So, r = 0.09 or 9%.

Now plug in 0.09 in the above equation to get the depreciation equation. So,

y = x (1- 0.09)^t

So, y = 0.91x^t

b) To find the value of the bike after 5 months,

plug in t = 5 months= 5/12 = 0.41667 years in the above equation of depreciation.

So, y= 1040 *(0.91)^{0.41667}

y = 1040 * 0.961465659

y = 999.9242852

y = 1000 (Rounded to nearest integer).

Hence, the value of the bike after 5 months is $1000.

Eugene walked all the way to school at 3 mph then realized she forgot her math book (how could she?!), so she ran back at 7 mph.
Fynjy0 [20]

\text{Answer: }1\frac{23}{40}\ miles\text{ far she live from school.}

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Speed at which Eugene walked all the way to school = 3 mph

After realizing that she forgot her math book, she ran back

Speed at which Eugene walked back to her house = 7 mph

Let the distance between her house and her school be x

According to question,

\frac{x}{3}+\frac{x}{7}=\frac{45}{60}\\\\\frac{7x+3x}{21}=\frac{3}{4}\\\\\frac{10x}{21}=\frac{3}{4}\\\\x=\frac{3\times 63}{4\times 10}=\frac{63}{40}=1\frac{23}{40}\ miles.

Hence,

1\frac{23}{40}\ miles\text{ far she live from school.}
