Answer: 0.79

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The cost price of car = $19,000

The rate of depreciation = 21 % = 0.02

The exponential decay equation (depreciation) is given by :-

y=Ab^x, where A is the initial amount and b is the decay factor for x years such that b=(1-r), where r is the rate of decay.

If we substitute the value of r , we get

The decay factor =b = (1-0.21)=0.79

Harold, a marina manager, purchased two boats. He then sold the boats, the first
zaharov [31]

Harold paid $ 16,632 and $ 38,808 for each of the boats.

Since Harold, a marina manager, purchased two boats, and he then sold the boats, the first at a profit of 40% and the second at a profit of 60%, and the total profit on the sale of the two boats was 54 % and $ 88 704 was the total selling price of the two boat, to determine what did Harold originally pay for each of the two boats the following calculation must be performed:

  • 55 x 0.6 + 45 x 0.4 = 51
  • 65 x 0.6 + 35 x 0.4 = 53
  • 70 x 0.6 + 35 x 0.4 = 54

  • 88,704 x 0.7 = 62,092.80
  • 160 = 62,092.80
  • 100 = X
  • 100 x 62,092.80 / 160 = X
  • 38.808 = X

  • 88,704 x 0.3 = 26,611.20
  • 140 = 26,611.20
  • 100 = X
  • 100 x 26,611.20 / 160 = X
  • 16,632 = X

Therefore, Harold paid $ 16,632 and $ 38,808 for each of the boats.

Round 713,949 to the nearest hundred
TEA [102]

Answer:

<em>713,900</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

713,<u><em>9</em></u>49

The bold, italic, underlined digit is the hundreds digit.

To round to the nearest hundred, change all digits to the right of the hundreds digit to 0. Now you have

713,900

There is one more step. Look at the first digit that used to be to the right of the hundreds digit. If it is from 1 to 4, the hundreds digit remains the same. If it is from 5 to 9, the hundreds digit goes up by 1. In this case, the first digit to the right of the hundreds digit was 4, so the hundreds digit does not go up by 1.

Answer: 713,900

If one angle of a parallelogram measures 80° what are the measures of the other three angles in a parallelogram
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

In a parallelogram the 4 angles need to sum to 360 degrees. There are two sets of identical angles, so one of the other angles would also be 80 degrees.

Now find the other two angles:

360 - 80 - 80 = 200 degrees

200 degrees / 21 = 100 degrees each.

The other 3 angles are: 80, 100 and 100
