Answer:
C) 142,488
Step-by-step explanation: by adding up here semimonthly, also took test.
Initial cost of the jet ski = $925
Percentage of depreciation per year = 15%
Number of years after which the cost of the jetski has to be determined = 7
Then
Depreciated Value = Initial cost( 1 - percentage of depreciation) ^number of years
= 925( 1 - 15%)^7
= 925( 1 - 15/100)^7
= 925(1 - 0.15)^7
= 925(0.85)^7
= 925 *(0.85)^7
= 925 * 0.3206
= 296.53 dollars
So the depreciated cost of the jet ski after 7 years will be $296.53
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First, turn the word problem into an equation:
n(a number) was divided by 2

followed by this quotient beying multiplied by 4
*4
the product was added to 9
*4+9
the total sum was 25
*4+9 = 25
use PEMDAS to solve the equation
subtract 9 on both sides
*4 = 16
cancel the 2 and the 4 using factorization
n*2 = 16
divide 2 on both sides
n = 8
