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

which property is illustrated by the equation below (r+s)+t=r+(s+t). A)Associative B)Commutative C)Distributive D)Identity
Lera25 [3.4K]
The associative property of addition is being demonstrated here. The parenthesis are moved around to "associate" or "group" the values into two different pairs.

Note: the associative property of multiplication is very similar and it is
a*(b*c) = (a*b)*c<span />
