A 1970 comic book has appreciated 7% per year and originally sold for $0.35. What will the comic book be worth in 2017?

You tell me if this makes sense to you.

It's 47 years from 1970 to 2017 so you would need to multiply 7% by the 47 years.

So: 0.07x47= 3.29

Now you should add your new price to your original price: $3.29+$0.35= 3.64

So it should cost $3.64 now. Yes that does seem kind of low but that's how you do it.

I hope this helps :)

A kite has a height of 36 inches and a width of 30 inches. Explain how to use the area formula for a triangle to find the area o

mote1985 [20]

Height of the kite is = 36 inches.

Width of the kite is = 30 inches

One of the ways to find the area is to draw a vertical line to break the kite into two equal triangles. Mark the base as 36 inches and height as 15 inches .

Now we will use the formula $area=\frac{1}{2}*base*height$ to find the area of each triangle. Then we will add both the areas to find the area of the kite.
