solve using division of rational numbers for car’s value decreases by 4000 in the first 12 months how much does a value decrease per month round to the nearest hundredth
To find the amount of decrease per month, we need to divide the total decrease in value by the number of months.
The car's value decreases by $4000 in the first 12 months. Therefore, the total decrease in value is $4000.
Dividing the total decrease by the number of months:
$4000 ÷ 12 = $333.33
The value decreases by approximately $333.33 per month.
To find the value decrease per month, we will divide the total decrease of $4000 by the number of months (12).
Value decrease per month = Total decrease / Number of months
Value decrease per month = $4000 / 12
Let's perform the division:
Value decrease per month = $4000 ÷ 12
To round the value to the nearest hundredth, we divide the value by 100 and then round it to the nearest whole number. Then, we multiply it by 100 again.
Value decrease per month ≈ $4000 ÷ 12 ≈ $333.33 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
Therefore, the value of the car decreases by approximately $333.33 per month when rounded to the nearest hundredth.
