Answer 2

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.)

Answer 3

To find the value decrease per month, we divide the total decrease in value, $4,000, by the number of months, which is 12.

So, the value decrease per month is $4,000 / 12 = $333.33.

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the value decrease per month is $333.33.

Answer 4

I apologize for the confusion. The correct answer is -$333.33. This means that the value of the car decreases by $333.33 per month.
