Answer
x = 28
Explanation
3/8x + 15/2 = 18
Step 1. Subtract 15/2 from both sides
3/8x = 15/2 - 15/2 = 18 - 15/2
3/8x = 21/2
Step 2. Multiply both sides by 8/3
(8/3) * (3/8x) = (8/3) * (21/2)
Step 3. Answer
Therefore x is 28.
Answer:
Take wholesale cost and multiply it by 95%, then add to the original value
another way, just multiply by 1.95
Retail cost: 1.95*($99.50) = $194.03
Yes the product of two integers with different sings can be positive or negative if is negative and negative equal a positive
p=15250
r=7.5/100=0.075
y = 15250*(1 - 0.075)^x
after 8 years it would be
x = 8
y = 15250*(1 - 0.075)^8
y = $8,173.42
after 8 years the value of the car is going to be $8,173.42
