Actually heres the breakdown...
year 1  20,000
year 2 decreased 20% is 16,666
year 3 decreased 20% is 13,888
year 4 decreased 20% is 11,574
year 5 decreased 20% is 9,645
year 6 decreased 20% is 8,037
so selling it for $4000 is a major loss on their end so they should NOT sell at that price.

Is the prime factorization below correct

24
24+2.3.4



Answer: 100


Prime numbers are natural numbers (positive whole numbers that sometimes include 0 in certain definitions) that are greater than 1, that cannot be formed by multiplying two smaller numbers. An example of a prime number is 7, since it can only be formed by multiplying the numbers 1 and 7. Other examples include 2, 3, 5, 11, etc.

Time intervals measured with a stopwatch typically have an uncertainty of about 0.2 seconds, due to human reaction time at the s
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

a) 2,650%

b) 27,400%

c) 164,900%

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to measure the percentage we would have to increase the typical value to obtain the values given in a), b) and c).  

But 0.2 increased in x% equals  

0.2 + 0.2(x/100) =0.2(1+x/100)

So, if we want to increase 0.2 in x%, we must multiply it by (1+x/100)

a)

We need to find the value of x such that

0.2(1+x/100) = 5.5 ⇒ (1+x/100)=5.5/0.2 ⇒  1+x/100=27.5

⇒  x/100=26.5 ⇒ x=2,650%

b)

0.2(1+x/100) = 55 ⇒ (1+x/100)=55/0.2 ⇒  1+x/100=275

⇒  x/100=274 ⇒ x=27,400%

c)

5.5 min = 5.5*60 s = 330

0.2(1+x/100) = 330 ⇒ (1+x/100)=330/0.2 ⇒  1+x/100=1,650

⇒  x/100=1,649 ⇒ x=164,900%
