The value of a car purchased for $20,000 decreases at a rate of 12% per year. What will be the value of the car after 3 years? What is the equation?

$13,629.44

Step-by-step explanation:

Value of car after 3 years is:

V = $20,000(1.00-0.12)^3, or

     $20,000(0.88)^3 = $13,629.44

The surface area of a cube is just the area of all six sides of the cube. Therefore, if we let s = the cube's side,

The surface area would be 6⋅s2 because the area of one face is s2 and there are six faces

Given this, we know from the problem that s=5

We can just plug in for s.

SA = 6⋅52

SA = 6⋅25

SA = 150
