John bought a 2-year-old car for £ 12 000. Three years later he decides to sell the car; “I think that the value of the car is i

nversely proportional to its age”. John estimates the value of the car using this idea. The actual value of the car depreciates by 20% each year. Work out the difference between John’s estimate and the actual value.

Answer:

Actual value after 5 years is £1344 more than John's value.

Step-by-step explanation:

Johns estimate:-

V = k/t (inverse proportionality)   where V = value of the car and t = it's age.

When t = 2, V = £12,000:-

12,000 = k/2 giving k = 24,000

Therefore the value at 5 years of age, according to John's proposition is

V = 24,000 / 5  =  £4,800

The actual value using the given depreciation is

12000(1 - 0.2)^3 = £6144

Difference is  £1344

Answer:

$8.8 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, the equation is simple.

Time (hours) * Money (per hour) = Total

We know the time he worked for and the total amount he earned, so just replace in this equation and find the unknown number

12.5 * money = 110

To find the money he earns per hour we should just simply divide the total amount he earned by the hours he spent working

money = 110/12.5

money = 8.8$

You can also check it out to make sure it's correct.

If he earns 8.8$ per hour and worked for 12.5 hours how much he'll earn? Let's find out

8.8 * 12.5 =?

8.8 * 12.5 = 110, the same total amount so our solution must be correct.

15% off means 85% on so I would use .85x · 6 = total monthly cost  to represent this problem.  The dot represents times (I did not want to confuse things by using x)

Other ways to express this:

6(.85x)
.85x (6)
