Let the number be x.
Therefore, by the problem
x/6-(-3) = 12
or, x/6+3 = 12
or, x/6 = 12-3
or, x/6 = 9
or, x = 9 × 6
or, x = 54
The number is 54.
£7200
In first year depreciates by 20%, that is it is worth 80% of it's original value
80% =
= 0.8
value after 1 year = 0.8 × £10000 = £8000
In the second year it depreciates by 10% of it's value, that is it is worth 90% of it's value at the end of the first year.
90% =
= 0.9
value after 2 years = 0.9 × £8000 = £7200
1/8 is a fraction to represent 12.5%
