-18(1) = -18,right?
4(3) = 12, right?
-18 - 12 = -30
From the looks of it, we had to "Subtract" the outcome of each problem that we went over
You're correct: -30 (option A.) would be your answer
Answer:
c
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the area of the triangles is base x hight divided by 2 (bh/2)
The formula for the square is length times width (l x w)
therefore...
bh/2 = (12)(6) / 2 = 36 (this is the area of one triangle)
then you need to times 36 by 4 because you have 4 triangles.
36 x 4 = 144
l x w = 12 x 12 = 144 (this is the area of the square)
last you need to add the area of the triangles (144) and the area of the square (144) because that will give you the total surface area of the shape.
144+144= 288
so your answer is 288cm squared (288cm2)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Usually, this wording means the decrease is proportional to the current price, characteristic of an exponential function.
__
The decay factor is 1-(decay rate), so is 1-0.15 = 0.85. After 3 years, the value has been multiplied by this factor 3 times:
$50×0.85³ ≈ $30.71 . . . . cost in 3 years
_____
<em>Comment on percent per year</em>
Less often, the indicated decrease is intended to be <em>that percentage of the original price</em>. The result is that the price decreases by a constant amount each year, a linear decrease. This condition most often arises in conjunction with figuring depreciation in value for tax or accounting purposes.
The upshot is that you always need to be careful to understand what the base of a percentage is intended to be.
