Solve using division of rational numbers. If a car’s value decreases by $2,500 in the first 6 months, how much does the value decrease per month? (Round to the nearest hundredth.) (1 point)

Question

-$__

Answer 1

To find the monthly decrease in the car's value, you need to divide the total decrease in value by the number of months.

The car's value decreases by $2,500 over 6 months.

To calculate the monthly decrease:

\[ \text{Monthly decrease} = \frac{-2500}{6} \]

Now, let's divide:

\[ \frac{-2500}{6} \approx -416.67 \]

Therefore, the value decreases by approximately -$416.67 per month when rounded to the nearest hundredth.

So the answer is:

-$416.67
