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.)(1 point) Responses −$333.33 negative 333.33 dollars −0.003 negative 0.003 0.003 0.003 $333.33

Answer 1

To find out how much the car's value decreases per month, you can divide the total decrease in value by the number of months.

Given:

• Total decrease in value = $4,000
• Number of months = 12

Now, perform the division:

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

Calculating that:

\[ \text{Decrease per month} = -333.33 \text{ (rounded to the nearest hundredth)} \]

Therefore, the answer is:

−$333.33
