Answer:

21x/20 or can be written as  x + x/20 .

Step-by-step explanation:

The number is x

step 1

x is increased by 50%

value of 50% of x = 50/100 *x = x/2

New value after this change = x + 50% increase = x + x/2 = 3x/2

Step 2 The value obtained is decreased by 30%

value of 30% newly found number is = 30% of value found in step 1

value of 30% newly found number is = 30/100 * 3x/2 = 9x/20

This value (9x/2) is subtracted from value found in step 1(3x/2) as given that  value obtained is decreased by 30%

new value found after 30% decrease = 3x/2 - 9x/20 = (3x*10 -9x)/20

new value found after 30% decrease = (30x-9x)/20 = 21x/20

Thus, the result of x is increased by 50% and decreased by 30% is 21x/20 = x + x/20

Nathan just bought a car. He models the value, V, in dollars, of the car after t years as V(t)=21,000(0.861)^t. Based on this mo
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Value of the car is decreasing by 13.9% each year.

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation tells us V(t) is the value of the car after a certain time in years, $21,000 is the initial value of the car.  What we need to focus on is on the 0.861 part of this equation.  This means that the price of the car is worth 0.861 or 86.1% of what it was worth the year prior, this means that the price of the car is decreasing over time.  By how much is it decreasing? Well if we consider 1 to mean 100% (since 100 / 100 =1) then we have 100%-86.1%=13.9%.  This means that the value of the car is decreasing 13.9% each year.
