Ms. Hamm bought a new car for $37,500. It is said that her car depreciates at a rate of 7% each year

This would mean that the next year her car's value would go down by $2,625. The new value of the car would consequently be $34,875.

Here is how you can solve this problem:

Now that we know that 1% of $37,500 is $375, let's multiply this value by 7.

Let's say that the next year, her car value goes down by 7% again.

THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART:

YOU FIND 7% OF THE NEW VALUE, NOT $37,500. YOU WOULD FIND 7% OF $34,875.

Hope this helps! :)

24/56=hx^7

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
