So basically, the first question after the word problem is asking you to write an equation to represent the value of Mama's car after a certain amount of years (t). Since the value of her car decreases by 3% each year, you could multiply 3% by the original value of her car, to find what 3% is, OR you could subtract 19,400 (the value of her car after 1 year) from 20,000 INSTEAD of multiplying 20,000 by 3%.
Equation: value=20,000 - 600t
To answer the next question, just plug it into the equation you created.
500<20,000 - 600t
-19500< -600t
32.5>t
Final Answer: It would take at least 32 and 1/2 years for the value of Mama's car to be less than $500.
Hope this helps!! :)
Answer:
$7.10
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: We make the assumption that 35.5 is 100% since it is our output value.
Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with $x$.
Step 3: From step 1, it follows that $100\%=35.5$.
Step 4: In the same vein, $x\%=20$.
Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:
$100\%=35.5(1)$.
$x\%=20(2)$.
Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS
(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have
Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields

The <span>principle that helps us to determine the total number of outcomes in a sample space is the counting principle.

to happen, and “b” ways for a second event to happen, then there are “a
* b” ways for both events to happen.
The answer is c .........
I'm sorry but what are we answering? i'd love to help but i'm confused
