Answer:

£1638.40

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Given data

A car costs £5000 when new

Each year the value decreases by 20%.

Step two:

let us compute the worth in the next 5 years

year 1

worth= 5000- 0.2*5000

worth= 5000-1000

worth=  £4000

year 2

worth= 4000- 0.2*4000

worth= 4000-800

worth=  £3200

year 3

worth= 3200- 0.2*3200

worth= 3200-640

worth=  £2560

year 4

worth= 2560- 0.2*2560

worth= 2560-512

worth=  £2048

year 5

worth= 2048- 0.2*2048

worth= 2048-409.6

worth=  £1638.40

The person is wrong because after 5 years the car is worth  £1638.40

Answer:

I think the answer is 1,032 pounds

8*3*1=24.

Then you would multiply that by 43.

24*43=1,032.

I THINK this is the answer.

Susan rolled a die 1,086 times. Which of the following would be a good estimate of the number of times she rolled the number 3 o
adell [148]

Hello!

This is a problem about probability.

What we would first do is find the theoretical probability that Susan would roll the number 3 on a die.

Assuming that this is a fair six sided die, there is only one face with the number 3, and there are 6 sides, meaning that the probability that Susan rolls a 3 would be \frac{1}{6}.

Now, Susan is rolling a die 1,086, meaning that we can divide this number by 6 to find the theoretical number of times that Susan would roll the number 3 on this die.

You should get 181 times, which would be a good estimate of how many times she could roll the number 3.

Hope this helps!

Approximately 1.9 million primes of a certain type are reported to the place every year
zhannawk [14.2K]

I suspect that you might mean 'crimes' and 'police'.  If that's the case,
then what we have here is a sentence that has not been proofread
for errors, and doesn't ask any question. I'm not going to worry about it.
