Answer:
c
Step-by-step explanation:
In other words, you know that 50 percent of a number is 34 and you want to know what that initial number is.
To solve this problem you multiply 34 by 100 and then divide the total by 50 as follows:
(34 x 100) / 50
When we put that into our calculator, we get the following answer:
68
<u>Answer:</u>
The amount lost over the 3 years s 2567.25£
<u>Explanation:</u>

where F = final value after n years
I = initial value of the car in 2017 = £18000 (given)
Since the value is depreciated 5% every year for 3 years,
r = percentage rate of depreciation = 5% (given)
n = 3 years
Substituting these values in formula, we get

=

= 15432.75£ which is the value of the car after 3 years
Finally 18000-15432.75 = 2567.25£ is the amount lost over this period.
Might have to experiment a bit to choose the right answer.
In A, the first term is 456 and the common difference is 10. Each time we have a new term, the next one is the same except that 10 is added.
Suppose n were 1000. Then we'd have 456 + (1000)(10) = 10456
In B, the first term is 5 and the common ratio is 3. From 5 we get 15 by mult. 5 by 3. Similarly, from 135 we get 405 by mult. 135 by 3. This is a geom. series with first term 5 and common ratio 3. a_n = a_0*(3)^(n-1).
So if n were to reach 1000, the 1000th term would be 5*3^999, which is a very large number, certainly more than the 10456 you'd reach in A, above.
Can you now examine C and D in the same manner, and then choose the greatest final value? Safe to continue using n = 1000.
