Answer:

No the soultion is not equal to 1 1/4

The solution to the given question is either 6 3/4 or 4 /27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

3(+9)=(4−7+7)x

27 = 4x

x= 27/4

x= 6 3/4 is the answer

Let

3(+9) x=(4−7+7)

27x = 4

x= 4/27

The plus sign inside the bracket indicates that 3 is multiplied with positive nine and -7 and +7 are cancelled and 4 is left behind.

If x is on the left side the answer will be 6 3/4 and if it is on the right side the answer is 4/27 .

In both cases the answer is not equal to 5/4 .

5/4 means 1 1/4 which is not equal to either 6 3/4 or 4/27

A new car is purchased for $17,000 and over time its value depreciates by one half every 3 years. What is the value of the car 1

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

The answer is "$238".

Step-by-step explanation:

Current worth $= \$ 17,000$

depreciates by $\frac{1}{2}$ in 3 years.

time= 19 years

depreciates rate=?

Using formula:

$\to \text{Worth= Current worth}(1- \frac{\text{depreciates rate}}{100})^{time}$

$\to A_t=A_0(1-\frac{r}{100})^t$

calculates depreciate value in 3 year $= \frac{1}{2} \times 17,000$

$= 8,500$

so,

$A_t=8,500\\\\A_0=17,000\\\\t=3\ years$

$\to A_t=A_0(1-\frac{r}{100})^t\\\\\to 8,500= 17,000(1-\frac{r}{100})^3\\\\\to \frac{8,500}{17,000}= (1-\frac{r}{100})^3\\\\\to \frac{1}{2}= (1-\frac{r}{100})^3\\\\\to (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{1}{3}}= (1-\frac{r}{100})\\\\\to 0.793700526 = (1-\frac{r}{100})\\\\\to \frac{r}{100} = (1-0.793700526)\\\\\to \frac{r}{100} = (1-0.8)\\\\\to r= 0.2 \times 100 \\\\\to r= 20 \%$

depreciates rate= 20%

$\to \text{Worth= Current worth}(1- \frac{\text{depreciates rate}}{100})^{time}$

$= \$ 17,000 (1- \frac{20}{100})^{19}\\\\= \$ 17,000 (1-0.2)^{19}\\\\= \$ 17,000 (0.8)^{19}\\\\= \$ 17,000 \times 0.014\\\\= \$ 238$

kozerog [31]

It depends what your trying to get close to. If your trying to get close to a number that is easier to work with 1 4/8 is good because its the same as 11/2 but the closest whole number is 1.
