Answer 1

To find the value decrease per month, you need to divide the total decrease in value by the number of months.

The total decrease in value is $4,000, and the number of months is 12.

\[ \text{Decrease per month} = \frac{-4000}{12} \]

Calculating that:

\[ \text{Decrease per month} = -333.33\overline{3} \]

Rounding to the nearest hundredth, we get:

\[ -333.33 \]

Therefore, the correct response is:

−$333.33
