<u>Answer:</u>
$593.26
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
We know that the price of the laptop is $2500 and each year its resale value decreases by 25%. It means that 100 - 25 = 75% of the value is retained every year for the resale.
So, the resale value for 1st year = 
$1875
for 2nd year = 
$1406.25
for 3rd year = 
$1054.7
for 4th year = 
$791.01
for 5th year = 
$593.25
Or we can use the following formula to find its resale value after 5 years:
$593.26
n=2
8+8(8-n)=40+8n (distribute 8 through the parenthesis)
8+64-8n=40-8n (add the numbers)
<em>72-</em>8n=40+8n (move the variable to the left side and change its sign)
<em>72</em><em>-</em>8n+8n=40
-8n+8n=40<em>-72</em> (connect like terms)
-16n = -32 (divide both sides by -16)
<u><em>n=2</em></u>
Answer: 5.3571
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula used to calculate direct proportion is: y = kx
We will find the constant of proportionality when y=10 and x=5.6. This will be:
y = kx
10 = 5.6k
k = 10/5.6
k = 1.7857143
The value of y when X=3 will be:
y = kx
y = 1.7857143 × 3
y = 5.3571
If you rounded it it would be 4.6
