Answer:

The percent decrease was 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, use the percent change equation.

(New - Old)/(Old) * 100 = % Change

Now input 48 for the New price and 60 for the Old price.

(48 - 60)/(60) * 100 = % Change

12/60 * 100 = % Change

.2 * 100 = % Change

20 = % Change

What is the x-intercept for the following linear equation:

Alexandra [31]

The "x-intercept" occurs when y=0, because it is at this point that the equation touches the x axis. So if you plug in y=0 into the equation you can solve for the x coordinate.

4x-2(0)-8=0

4x-8=0

4x=8

x=2

So the x-intercept is the point (2,0)

Alex purchased a new car for $28000. The car depreciates 7.25% each year. what will the price be in 5 years?

dalvyx [7]

Use the depreciation formula.

$\sf p(1-r)^n$

Where 'p' is the principal value, 'r' is the rate it depreciates, and 'n' is the time. Just plug in what we know:

$\sf 28000(1-0.0725)^5$

Simplify by subtracting:

$\sf 28000(0.9275)^5$

Simplify the exponent:

$\sf 28000(0.6864)$

Multiply:

$\sf\approx\boxed{\sf\$ 19219.20}$
