We have been given that Jackson purchases a new car for $48,000. The car's value can be modeled by the  following exponential function: y = 48000(0.76)^t where y represents the car's  value and t represents time in years. We are asked to find the decay rate as a percentage.

We know that an exponential decay function is in form y=a\cdot (1-r)^x, where,

y = Final value,

a = Initial value,

r = Decay rate in decimal form,

x = time.

Upon comparing our given function y = 48000(0.76)^t with standard decay function  y=a\cdot (1-r)^x, we can see that 1-r=0.76.

Let us solve for r.

1-1-r=0.76-1

-r=-0.24

r=0.24

Let us convert 0.24 into percentage.

0.24\times 100\%=24\%

Therefore, the decay rate is 24%.

The test score for a class are shown. What is the average test score? 79,80,92,92,81,100,88,98,71,100,91,90
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

The average score is equal to 88.5

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

An average test score is the sum of all the scores on an assessment divided by the number of test-takers.

so

The sum is equal to

Sum=[79+80+92+92+81+100+88+98+71+100+91+90]=1,062

The number of test-takers is n=12

The average score is equal to

\frac{S}{n}

substitute

\frac{1,062}{12}=88.5

What is the value of x ?
OLga [1]

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

90 = 60 + (x + 10)

90 - 60 = x + 10

30 = x + 10

30 - 10 = x

20 = x

P is a rectangle with a length 40 cm and width x cm
romanna [79]
We know that

the length of Q is 25% more than the length of p
so
length Q=1.25*40--------> 50 cm
the area of Q is 10% less than the area of p
Area Q=50*y
Area P=40*x
so
50*y=0.90*[40*x]---------> 50*y=36*x-------> x/y=50/36---> 25/18

the answer 
the ratio x:y is 25:18
