Sammy bought a new car. the depreciation equation is given by f(x) = 30,000(.85)x, where x represents the number of years since the purchase of the car, and f(x) represents the value of the car. by what percent does sammy's car depreciate each year?

In a depreciation equation, you multiply the value of the car by the percent of depreciation minus 1.

In the given equation you are multiplying the value of the car by (.85)

This means the percent of depreciation would be 1 - 0.85 =0.15 which is 15%

The car depreciates by 15% every year.

answer: 1,380

step-by-step explanation:

1: you turn %15 into a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the left.

2: and then you multiply .15 by 1,200 , which will get you 180.00

3: from there you will add 180 to 1,200

4: which will get you 1,380

hope it *im kind of slow so idk if my answer is right*

$650 per month plus utilities

step-by-step explanation:

just based on the info you gave, it would seem more cost effective to rent at $650 per month plus utilities.   if utilities are, in fact, $150 per month, your monthly living costs would be $800 as opposed to the other option of $825.
