Skylar is answering the following math problem: The value of an investment decreased by 10%. The original amount of the investme

nt was $75.00. What is the current value of the investment? Skylar said 10% of $75.00 is $7.50, and since the investment decreased by that amount, you have to subtract $7.50 from $75.00 to arrive at the final answer of $67.50. Create one algebraic equation that can be used to arrive at the final answer of $67.50. Solve the equation to prove it results in an answer of $67.50. Be prepared to explain your thought process to the class.

Answer:

The given parameters of the investment are;

The rate of decrease of the investment, r = -10%

The original amount of the investment, P = $75.00

Let 'A' represent the final answer (value of the investment) after the decrease in the investment, 'r', is applied, we have;

The algebraic equation that can be used to arrive at the final answer, 'A', is given as follows;

A = P + r·P

Therefore by substituting the given values, we have;

A = $75.00 + (-10/100) × $75.00 = $75.00 - 0.1 × $75.00 = $75.00 - $7.50

A = $75.00 - $7.50 = $67.50

The final amount or answer, A = $67.50

Answer:

45 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

first you have to know the sum of interior angle of that pentagon (540)

then add the all angle.

148 + x + 112 + 90 + 3x + 10 = 540.

or, 360 + 4x = 540

or, 4x = 540 - 360

or, 4x = 180

or, x = 180/4

or, x = 45

hope it will help you☺✌

Miko and Raj get the same salary. Every month Miko saves
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The salaries are the same. Only the fraction of how much is saved is quite different.

Equation

x ( 9/11 - 7/9) = 1584

Explanation: The salary amount is x. The fractional amounts saved are also given. You have to take the difference because one of the people saves more than the other.

The amount that is more is 1584.

Solution

9/11 = 0.8182

7/9 = 0.7778

9/11 - 7/9 = 0.8182 - 0.7778 = 0.0404

Put that into the equation.

x(0.0404) = 1584                     Divide by 0.0404)

x(0.0404) = 1584/0.0404        

answer:x = 39204

Find the interest rate if £6400 has a final value of £8334 in 3 years. Give your answer to 1 d.p​
Mila [183]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6400(1+i)³=8334

(1+i)³=1.3021875

∛(1+i)³=∛(1.3021875)

1+i= 1.092

i= .092

I guess if you were to round to 1 decimal point it'd be .1
