Answer:

The regular price of the balls is $8

Step-by-step explanation:

The sporting goods store sales promotion is as follows;

The price of the third ball after buying two balls at regular price = $1.00

The price of the number of balls Coach John pays for the balls he bought = $136

To buy 24 balls, we have;

2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1

Therefore;

The number of balls bought at regular price = The sum of the 2s = 16 balls

The number of balls bought for $1 = 24 - 16 = 8 balls

Let x represent the regular price of the balls, we have;

16 × x + 8 = 136

16·x = 138 - 8 = 128

x = 128/16 = 8

The regular price of the balls = x = $8.

In an installment loan, a lender loans a borrower a principal amount P, on which the borrower will pay a yearly interest rate of i (as a fraction, e.g. a rate of 6% would correspond to i=0.06) for n years. The borrower pays a fixed amount M to the lender q times per year. At the end of the n years, the last payment by the borrower pays off the loan.

After k payments, the amount A still owed is

Nick bought a new car.

Using an exponential function, it is found that it takes 5.42 years for the car to halve in value.

<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>

A decaying exponential function is modeled by:

A(t) = A(0)(1 - r)^t

In which:

  • A(0) is the initial value.
  • r is the decay rate, as a decimal.

In this problem, the car depreciates 12% a year in value, hence r = 0.12 and the equation is given by:

A(t) = A(0)(0.88)^t.

It halves in value at t years, for which A(t) = 0.5A(0), hence:

A(t) = A(0)(0.88)^t

0.5A(0) = A(0)(0.88)^t

(0.88)^t = 0.5

\log{(0.88)^t} = \log{0.5}

t\log{0.88} = \log{0.5}

t = \frac{\log{0.5}}{\log{0.88}}

t = 5.42.

It takes 5.42 years for the car to halve in value.
