Aconstruction company purchased some equipment costing $300,000. the value of the equipment depreciates
(decreases) at a rate of 14% per year.
b. what is the value of the equipment after 9 years?

$ 77,198.22

Step-by-step explanation:

The value depreciates 14% per year, it means that for the first year, the value will be 0.86 of the initial value, the second year, 0.86 of the first, so 0.86x0.86 of it, and then  successively. So, for t years:

V(9) = 300,000*(0.86)⁹

V(9) = $ 77,198.22

answer: there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.

step-by-step explanation:

let the total number of pages in the book which olive has already read be x.

then if olive has 184 pages left to read, then the total number of pages are in olive's book= pages she has read+pages she has left to read

therefore, the total number of pages in olivia's book=

hence, there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.
