1080 clothespins makes 90 chairs and we need to find out how many clothespins it takes to make 1 chair.
We can set up a proportion of the number of chairs to the number of clothespins because of the proportional relationship.
x is the number of clothes pins for 1 chair
Cross multiply to get
90*x= 1080*1
Divide both sides by 90 to isolate x
x = 12 clothespins
It takes 12 clothespins to make 1 chair.
Answer:
Amir's car will cost £10348.88 after 23 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
I finally found a UK human!
This is compound interest so you have to find a decimal multiplier and multiply that with £16470 to the power of 23.
The decimal multiplier would be 0.98. This is because you do 100% - 2% as depreciating basically means a decrease, which gives you 98% and then you divide that by 100 to get your decimal multiplier - 0.98.
16470 × = £10348.88
I hope that helps you!! ^-^
