Answer: $8470

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, you can substitute 4 for x:

$f(x) = 13500*.89^4\\f(x) = 13500*0.6274\\f(x) = 8470$

Mikayla's scooter is worth around $8470 after 4 years.

It was originally worth 13,500 dollars and depreciated by 11% every year.

What is 36 to 21 ratio in simplest form?

OLga [1]

36:21 in simplest form is 12:7, because 3 goes into both 36 and 21. Simplifying ratios is essentially the same thing as simplifying fractions. Once we have 12:7, we can't reduce any further, because 7 is prime.

Hope this helps!
