Right now the dirt bike is worth $500. Next year it will be worth 15% less, or 85% of the current value (because currently it's at 100%, so you would subtract the 15%). To find 85% of the dirt bike's value, you would take $500 and multiply by 85% (or 0.85). This would give you $425 after 1 year. You'd take $425 and multiply that by 85% for the next year, and continue until you reached 5 years of the value decreasing. Does this help?
Answer:
22
Step-by-step explanation:
Pretend the 10 values in the first sentence are a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j
Pretend the addition 5 values is k,l,m,n,o
So the mean of all the 15 data is (a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h+i+j+k+l+m+n+o)/15=20
So the sum of all 15 data is a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h+i+j+k+l+m+n+o=300 since 15(20)=300
Now let's look at the first 10: We have their mean so we can write:
(a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h+i+j)/10=19
so a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h+i+j=190 since 10(19)=190
So that means using our first sum equation and our equation sum equation we have
190+k+l+m+n+o=300
k+l+m+n+o=300-190
k+l+m+n+o= 110
So the average of those 5 numbers mentioned in your problem is 110/5=22
3(4x - 4) - 7x, when simplified, is 5x - 12. So your answer would be A, or the first one.
