A used car has a value of $15,250 when it is purchased in 2012. The value of the car decreases at a rate of 7.5% per year.

1 answer:

3 0

The given P=15250
r=7.5/100=0.075 
t=x 
y = 15250*(1 - 0.075)^x 
after 8 years we would have 
x = 8 
y = 15250*(1 - 0.075)^8 
y = $8,173.42 
after 8 years the value of the car would be $8,173.42

The two parallel bases b1 and b2 are
b1 = 12
b2 = 9
the order of which base you pick doesn't matter

The height is h = 10 and it's perpendicular to each base.

The area is...

A = (1/2)*h*(b1+b2)
A = (1/2)*10*(12+9)
A = (1/2)*10*(21)
A = 5*21
A = 105

Final Answer: B) 105 square centimeters

The ratio to cats at an animal shelter 3:1. if there are 56 dogs and cats in all, how many more dogs than cats are there??

Answer:

There are 28 more dogs than cats at the animal shelter.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio of dogs to cats at an animal shelter is 3:1, that means there are 3 dogs for every 1 cat.

The way I think about it is I try multiplying every number by 3 and 1, kind of like process of elimination.

After using every number from 1-13, I finally got to 14. Now, 3 x 14 = 42 and 1 x 14 = 14. Add 42 + 14 and you will get 56.

So there are 42 dogs and 14 cats at the animal shelter.

However, it is asking for how many more dogs than cats there are, so you have to subtract 42 - 14 and the answer is 28 more dogs than cats.
