Answer:

b(b/a)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the value of the car depreciates such that its value at the end of each year is p % less than its value at the end of the previous year and that car was worth a dollars on December 31, 2010 and was worth b dollars on December 31, 2011, then

b = a - (p% × a) = a(1-p%)

b/a = 1 - p%

p% = 1 - b/a = (a-b)/a

Let the worth of the car on December 31, 2012 be c

then

c = b - (b × p%) = b(1-p%)

Let the worth of the car on December 31, 2013 be d

then

d = c - (c × p%)

d = c(1-p%)

d = b(1-p%)(1-p%)

d = b(1-p%)^2

d = b(1- (a-b)/a)^2

d = b((a-a+b)/a)^2

d = b(b/a)^2 = b^3/a^2

The car's worth on December 31, 2013 =  b(b/a)^2 = b^3/a^2

A cafe offers senior citizens a 15% discount off its regular price of $8.95 for the dinner buffet.
jonny [76]

a) 75 percent of the regular price is the price for senior citizens.

b) $6.712 is the price for senior citizens.

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

  • The regular price is the 100% = $8.95
  • The offer price for senior citizen = 15% discount from 100%

∴ Percent of the regular price for senior citizens = 100% - 15% = 75%

The price for the senior citizens = 75% of $8.95

⇒ (75/100)\times8.95

⇒ 0.75\times8.95

⇒ 6.712 dollars.

∴ The price for senior citizens = $6.712
