Right now the dirt bike is worth $500. Next year it will be worth 15% less, or 85% of the current value (because currently it's at 100%, so you would subtract the 15%). To find 85% of the dirt bike's value, you would take $500 and multiply by 85% (or 0.85). This would give you $425 after 1 year. You'd take $425 and multiply that by 85% for the next year, and continue until you reached 5 years of the value decreasing. Does this help?

Ken went to the store for his mother. he spent $2.37 on groceries. in addition, his mother said he could spend 35¢ on candy. wha

Viefleur [7K]

$2.37 (the amount he spent on groceries) + <span>35¢ (or $0.35 he could spend on candy) = $2.72
Now you subtract this number from the five dollar bill to get the change.
5 - 2.72 = $2.28
His change was $2.28.

A large truck has two fuel tanks, each with a capacity of 150 gallons. Tank 1 is half full, and Tank 2 is empty.

12345 [234]

Answer:

1) $G(t) = 75 + \frac{23}{4}t\\$

2) After 8 minutes delivering fuel the tanks will have 121 gallons of fuel

Step-by-step explanation:

1) For generating the equation we have to take into account that in the tanks there is a initial volume of fuel that corresponds to 75 gallons, as it is stated that tank one is half full. As the capacity for tank 1 is of 150 gallons, half of the tank equals to:

$\frac{150}{2} = 75 gallons$

Now we have to convert the rate of delivery that is expressed as a mixed number to an improper fraction so:

$5\frac{3}{4} = \frac{(5x4)+3}{4} = \frac{23}{4}$

Then the pumping rate is of 23/4 gallons per minute, to get how many gallons are in the tank we just need to multiply this rate by the time in minutes, and as there is an initial volume we have to add it, so we have the following equation:

$G(t) = 75 + \frac{23}{4}t\\$

2) To know how much fuel is in the tank after 8 minutes we have to replace this time in the previous equation so we have

$G(t) = 75 + \frac{23}{4}t\\G(8) = 75 + \frac{23}{4}(8)\\G(8) = 75 + 23(2)\\G(8) = 75 + 46\\G(8) = 121 gallons$

After 8 minutes delivering fuel the tanks will have 121 gallons of fuel
