Answer:

328.05 dollars

7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

y=500(.9)^4 =328.05

What is being asked in the problem and what does that mean?

We are asked to the price of the video game after 4 years.

What do I know and what does it mean? What plan am I going to try?

We know the <u>initial price is $500</u>, the <u>value depreciates 10% each year </u>because we have .9 or 90% of the price going into the next year.

- value of the video game after first year 90% of 500 so is 450

- value of the video game after second year 90% of 450 so is 405

-value of the video game after third year 90% of 405 so is 364.5

-value of the video game after <u>fourth year</u> 90% of 364.5 so is 328.05

The plan is to substitute x with 4 and calculate y, y=500(.9)^4

What is your answer and what does it mean?

The answer is $328.05, and it means that the video game that was initially worth $500 it lost its' value by 10 % each of the four years.

2.

         y= 500(.9)^x

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

x =8, y= 500(0.9)^8 = 215.234 ≈215.23, this is less than $250

x = 7, y= 500(0.9)^7 = 239.148 ≈239.15, this is less than $250

x =6, y= 500(0.9)^6 = 265.721 ≈ 265.72, this is more than $250

What is being asked in the problem and what does that mean?

We are asked to find the value of x that represents the years such that the value of the console is still under $250.

What do I know and what does it mean? What plan am I going to try?

We know the value of y has to be less that $250, we know the inequality

[500(.9)^x ] < 250, the plan is to try different values for x until we have the maximum value of x that gives us less than 250.

Answer:

50 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!  

To solve this question, we would first need to look at the data. In this data, there are people who chose their favorite sport, and the number of people who chose that response. In order to solve the problem, we would have to find the ratio of how many people choose baseball over the other sports.

By this, we can add the number of students together. 30+10+5+15=60. Out of those 60 students, only 5 people chose baseball.

Since the ratio of the people who chose baseball is 5/60 (meaning that it is a 5/60 % chance someone would pick this sport), we would need to find the amount of people assumed to pick baseball in 600 student survey.

We can make a relationship with these two numbers.

\frac{5}{60} =\frac{x}{600}, since the ratio of the students who chose baseball remain the same.

You can see that the ratio on the denominators just add a zero on the bottom, so the top should add 0 as well, to get 50 for x, what we needed.

You can also solve that relationship by cross multiplication.

5(600)=x(60

3000=60x

50=x

Regardless, the answer is 50 students who would choose baseball in a 600 persons survey.
