The answer is $11,092.63.

This could be calculated using the proportion. If the value of the car decreases by 15% each year, that means that after each year the value of the car is 85% of the value from the first year.

After 1st year:
$25,000 : 100% = x1 : 85%
x1 = $25,000 · 85% ÷ 100%
x1 = <span>$21,250

After 2nd year:
</span>$21,250 : 100% = x2 : 85%
x2 = $21,250 · 85% ÷ 100%
x2 = <span>$18,062.5
</span>
After 3rd year:
$18,062.5 : 100% = x3 : 85%
x3 = $18,062.5 · 85% ÷ 100%
x3 = $15,353.12

After 4th year:
$15,353.12 : 100% = x4 : 85%
x4 = $15,353.12 · 85% ÷ 100%
x4 = $13,050.15

After 5th year:
$13,050.15 : 100% = x5 : 85%
x5 = $13,050.15 · 85% ÷ 100%
x5 = $11,092.63

Therefore, the value of the car 5 years after it is purchased is <span>$11,092.63.</span>

On which number line do the points represent negative seven and one over two and +1?
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

A number line is used in the mathematical positioning of real numbers that include the numbers from positive infinity to negative infinity. This includes rational, irrational, fractions, and whole numbers. In this case, we are given with an expression that we have to reduce to lowest terms: negative seven and one over two and +1. The first one is equal to -7.5 while the other one is equal to +1. Positive numbers lie on the right side of zero (center of the line) while negative numbers lie on the left on the other hand. -7.5 lies between -8 and -7 while +1 lies exactly between 0 and 2. Both of which are positive numbers.
