Initial price of car = $x

After one year the price of car = $0.88x

to find the change in price we subtract the price after one year from initial price.

It means change in price = (x-0.88x)= 0.12x

By this we can easily see that , price dropped by 0.12

Or we can say that price dropped by 12%


So option C is the correct answer

C) 12% decrease

The graph below shows the relationship between time and distance traveled by a race car moving at a constant rate and at its max
Agata [3.3K]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table we can make comparison between the distance travelled and the time taken. It can be seen that the time increases as the distance decrease.

If the car travels 700 miles in 0.5seconds and 600miles in 1.5secs, we can calculate the speed of the car using the formula;

v = change in distance/change in time

v = ΔS/Δt

v = 700-600/0.5-1.5

v = 100/-1

v = -100mi/hr

Since Speed = Distance/Time

-100 = 480/Time

Time = 480/-100

Time = -4.8s

Hence it will take the car 4.8seconds to travel 480miles.

The formula for surface area of a rectangular prism is 2(length x width) + 2(width x height) + 2(length x height). Plug in the values:

2(8 x 6) + 2(6 x 5) + 2(8 x 5)

Solve:
2(48) + 2(30) + 2(40)

96 + 60 + 80

236

Since its area, it is in cubic inches.

The answer is 236 cubic inches.

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

Maria

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the ratio of powdered mix to water for each drink.

For Maria:

(2/3 cup) / (2 gallon)

= 1/3 cup per gallon

For Franco:

(1 1/4 cup) / (5 gallon)

= (5/4 cup) / (5 gallon)

= 1/4 cup per gallon

Since 1/3 is bigger than 1/4, Maria's sports drink is stronger.
