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

You purchase 26 parking hours that you can use the next month to park your food truck at the fair. Weekday hours park $2 per hou
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Number of week day hours purchased  is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of Parking hours purchased = 26 parking hours

Parking cost on weekdays = $2 per hour

Parking costs on weekends = $10 per hour

Total amount spent on parking =  $220.

To Find:

Number of week days purchased = ?

Solution:

Let  

The number of week days purchased be x

The number of weekends purchased be  y

We know that the total hours purchased is 26

So,

x+y = 26

y = 26-x------------------------------------------------------(1)

Now the total cost is 220

(Total number of weekdays X cost per weekday ) +(Total number of weekends + cost per weekend) =220

Substituting the values

=>x\times 2 + y \times 10 = 220

=>x \times 2 + (26-x) \times 10 =220

=>2x + 260 -10x =220

=>260 -8x = 220

=>260 -220 =8x

=>40 = 8x

=>x=\frac{40}{8}

x= 5-------------------------------------------(2)

Now substituting (2) in (1) we get

y= 26-5

y= 21
