Question
Solve using division of rational numbers. If a car’s value decreases by $4,000 in the first 12 months, how much does the value decrease per month? (Round to the nearest hundredth.)
$333.33
0.003
−$333.33
−0.003
To find the amount the car's value decreases per month, we need to divide the total decrease in value, which is $4,000, by the number of months, which is 12.
$4,000 ÷ 12 ≈ $333.33
Therefore, the value decreases by approximately $333.33 per month. So, the correct answer is $333.33.
To solve this problem, we need to divide the decrease in value by the number of months.
The decrease in value is given as $4,000.
The time period is 12 months.
So, we divide $4,000 by 12 to find the decrease per month.
$4,000 / 12 = $333.33.
Therefore, the value decreases by approximately $333.33 per month.
The answer is $333.33.
To solve this question using division of rational numbers, we need to calculate the value decrease per month.
First, let's understand the information given. The car's value decreases by $4,000 in the first 12 months.
To find the value decrease per month, we need to divide the total decrease by the number of months.
So, let's divide $4,000 by 12.
$4,000 ÷ 12 = $333.33
The value decrease per month is $333.33 (rounded to the nearest hundredth).
Therefore, the correct answer is $333.33.
