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>

Answer:

It is $66.50 cheaper to purchase a return trip ticket than it is to purchase 2 one-way tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is asking us how much does 2 one-way tickets costs as opposed to a return trip ticket.  First, let's figure out how much does 2 one-way tickets cost.

Equation:

287.75 x 2 = 575.50

2 one-way tickets cost $575.50.

Then, to find the difference, subtract the return trip cost from the two one-way tickets.  

Equation: 575.50 - 509.00 = 66.50

The difference between the two is $66.5

Conclusion: It is $66.50 cheaper to purchase a return trip ticket than it is to purchase 2 one-way tickets.

I hope this helps!

Solve the equation.<br><br> 3(x−9)=30
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

x = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x - 9) = 30

Divide both sides by 3 to isolate the binomial.

x - 9 = 10

Add 9 to both sides to isolate x.

x = 19

Check your answer by plugging x = 19 back into the equation.

3(x - 9) = 30

3(19 - 9) = 30

Subtract.

3(10) = 30

Multiply.

30 = 30

Your answer is correct.

Hope this helps!
