The value of a bike depreciates by 55% per year. Work out the current value of a bike bought 2 years ago for £1300.

1 answer:

7 0

Year 1: 1,300 * 55% = 715 depreciation
1,300 - 715 = 585 book value

Year 2: 585 * 55% = 321.75 depreciation
585 - 321.75 = 263.25 book value

Year 3: 263.25 * 55% = 144.79 depreciation
263.25 - 144.79 = 118.46 book value

If the bike was bought 2 years ago, then its current value is $263.25.

Currently, it is the beginning of Year 3 but depreciation is computed at the end of the year.

Are the ratios 2.5:3.5 and 5:7 proportional? explain

yuradex [85]

$\frac{2.5}{3.5}=\frac{2.5 \times 2}{3.5 \times 2}=\frac{5}{7}$

They are the same fraction, so they are proportional.

Graph f(x)=-2x^2-12x-21

ELEN [110]

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the vertex. The x coordinate is -b/2a, or 12/-4=-3. Plug this back in to get -18+36-21 or -3, so the vertex is (-3, -3). Now, slowly make the x -2, -1, 0, 1, on and on. Because parabolas are symmetric along the vertex, they will have the same values as -4, -5, -6, on and on.

2 2/3 + 12 6/8 how do I work this

barxatty [35]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{2\dfrac{2}{3}+12\dfrac{6}{8}=15\dfrac{5}{12}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2\dfrac{2}{3}+12\dfrac{6}{8}=2\dfrac{2}{3}+12\dfrac{6:2}{8:2}=2\dfrac{2}{3}+12\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\\text{Find}\ LCD:\\\\\text{List of multiples of 3:}\ 0,\ 3,\ 6,\ 9,\ \boxed{12},\ 15,\ ...\\\text{List of multiples of 4:}\ 0,\ 4,\ 8,\ \boxed{12},\ 16,\ ...\\\\12=3\cdot4\\\\\text{therefore}\\\\\dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{2\cdot4}{3\cdot4}=\dfrac{8}{12}\\\\\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{3\cdot3}{4\cdot3}=\dfrac{9}{12}\\\\2\dfrac{2}{3}+12\dfrac{3}{4}=2\dfrac{8}{12}+12\dfrac{9}{12}=(2+12)+\dfrac{8+9}{12}=14+\dfrac{17}{12}\\\\=14+1\dfrac{5}{12}=15\dfrac{5}{12}$
