Answer:
Value of boat = $23,400
Loss of value by boat per year = 8%
To find: - Monthly percent decrease in value of boat.
Solution: - Decrease of value per year = 8% of $23,400 = $1,872. Monthly decrease in value = $1,872/12 = $156. Monthly percentage decrease = ($156/$23,400) * 100 = 0.6667 or 0.67 (rounded to nearest hundredth)
Step-by-step explanation:
Use multipliers:
The normal price the shop would sell the racquet for is:
1.6 * 200 = 320
'1.6' is the multiplier that I got using the percentage. Multiplying a value by 1.6 is the same as increasing the value by 60%. If you multiplied it by 0.1 (which is the same as dividing by 10), you would get just 10% of the value.
Back to the question, now we can use the multiplier 0.75 because we are are reducing the price by 25% (0.25 as a decimal), so:
320 * 0.75 = 240
And now we want just the profit so we take off how much it cost the shop to buy ($200): 240 - 200 = 40
10.5 divided by 8 should be 1.3125
Answer:
14/45
Step-by-step explanation:
So we have the fraction:
We can do this algebraically. Follow to following steps:
Let's let this number equal to n. Thus:
Since there is only 1 digit repeating, let's multiply everything by 10. So:
Now, subtract n from both sides:
On the left, substitute the number for n. On the right, combine like terms:
All of the 1s will cancel. So:
Subtract:
Divide both sides by 9:
Remove the decimal by multiplying both sides by 10:
Reduce:
And we're done!
Use a calculator to check:
You can add 4/9.
A simple trick is to look at the numerator and denominator separately, if they're both perfect squares then you're good (4, 2^2, check. 9, 3^2, check.)
