Answer:
0.98
Step-by-step explanation:
The investment starts at $10,000.
$10,000 is 100% of the investment.
In the first year, it loses 2% of its value. That means that after 1 year, the value of 100% of $10,000 is decreased by 2% of $10,000.
100% - 2% = 98%
After the first year, the investment is worth 98% of the original value.
98% as a decimal is 0.98

Step-by-step explanation:
theres no graph to choose from
Let the youngest sister be n years
Lana will be 2n years, as her youngest sister is half her age
The age of the twins separately will be 2n-2 as they are 2 years younger than Lana
So, the equation looks like this:
n + 2n + 2(2n-2) = 45
Now solve for n:
3n + 4n - 4 = 45
7n - 4 = 45
7n = 49
n = 7
So the youngest sister is 7, Lana is 14 and the twins are 12. 14 + 12 + 12 + 7 =45
