Answer:
11.1%
Step-by-step explanation:
The percentage change in a value can be computed from ...
%change = ((new value)/(old value) -1) × 100%
= ((8500/9559) -1) × 100%
= (0.8892 -1) × 100%
= -11.08%
The value of the car decreased about 11.1% in the first year.
Answer:
36
Step-by-step explanation:
Plug in -7 as m and 2 as n into the expression:
4 | m - n |
4 | -7 -2 |
Solve:
4 | -9 |
4(9)
= 36
If we represent Tobin's speed as x, we can write her opponent's speed as
x-2 (since Tobin is 2 more than them). In addition, since it's in miles per hour, and 45 minutes is 3/4 of an hour, we can say that 3/4ths of her speed in miles per hour is how long the race is, so (3/4)(x-2)=distance of race. In addition, since it only took Tobin 30 minutes, and 30 minutes is half an hour, x/2 (half of her miles per hour) is the length of the race, so (3/4)(x-2)=(1/2)x. Expanding it, we get 3x/4-6/4=x/2. Subtracting x/2 (or 2x/4) from both sides, we get x/4-6/4=0 and by adding 6/4 to both sides we get x/4=6/4. Multiplying 4 to both sides, we get that x=6=Tobin's speed in miles per hour
