Initial cost of the jet ski = $925
Percentage of depreciation per year = 15%
Number of years after which the cost of the jetski has to be determined = 7
Then
Depreciated Value = Initial cost( 1 - percentage of depreciation) ^number of years
= 925( 1 - 15%)^7
= 925( 1 - 15/100)^7
= 925(1 - 0.15)^7
= 925(0.85)^7
= 925 *(0.85)^7
= 925 * 0.3206
= 296.53 dollars
So the depreciated cost of the jet ski after 7 years will be $296.53
X = small van capacity, y = larger van capacity
y = x + 6
2x + y = 57
now we sub in x + 6 for y
2x + x + 6 = 57
3x + 6 = 57
3x = 57 - 6
3x = 51
x = 51/3
x = 17
y = x + 6
y = 17 + 6
y = 23
small van (x) has 17 seats and large van (y) has 23 seats
