Answer:
2000? ... assume $2000
Resale Value = $2000*(1 - 0.25)t/yr
where: t = number of year after purchase
at t = 3 yr
Resale Value = $2000*(1 - 0.25)3 = $843.75
checking: at t = 0 $2000 (purchase price)
at t = 1 yr $2000 - 0.25*$2000 = $2000 - $500 = $1500
at t = 2 yr $1500 - 0.25*$1500 = $1500 - $375 = $1125
at t = 3 yr $1125 - 0.25*$1125 = $1125 - $281.25 = $843.75
Answer:
$777.60
Step-by-step explanation:
8/100 = 0.08
0.08 * 720 = 57.6
57.6 + 720 = 777.6
Answer:
5 / 28
Step-by-step explanation:
5/7 ÷ 20/5
= 5/7 x 5/20
= (5 x 5) / (7 x 20)
= 25 / 140 (divide numerator and denominator by 5)
= 5 / 28
Answer: the cost of each bush is $15
the cost of each flower is $2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of each bush.
Let y represent the cost of each flower.
Portia bought 12 bushes and 30 flowers for $240 to plant in her yard. This is expressed as
12x + 30y = 240- - - - - - - - - - -1
Later, she realized she did not have enough plants and bought 7 more bushes and 10 more flowers for $125. This is expressed as
7x + 10y = 125- - - - - - - - - - -2
Multiplying equation 1 by 7 and equation 2 by 12, it becomes
84x + 210y = 1680
84x + 120y = 1500
Subtracting, it becomes
90y = 180
y = 180/90
y = 2
Substituting y = 2 into equation 1, it becomes
12x + 30 × 2 = 240
12x + 60 = 240
12x = 240 - 60 = 180
x = 180/12
x = 15
