A $642,000 property is depreciated for tax purposes by its owner with the straight-line depreciation method. The value of the building, y, after x months of use is given by y = 642,000 − 1800x dollars. After how many months will the value of the building be $393,600?
x = __ months
High interest rates make it difficult for people to pay off credit card debt in a reasonable period of time. The interest I (in dollars) paid on a $10,000 debt over 3 years when the interest rate is r% can be approximated by the equation shown below. I/175.393 + 0.663 =r If the credit card interest rate is 15.8%, find the amount of interest paid during the 3 years.
I = $_________
Burnem Inc. manufactures thumb drives and sells them to a distributor. Burnem's total cost and total revenue (in dollars) for x thumb drives are given by the following equations. Total cost = 5x + 4480 and Total revenue = 15x How many thumb drives must Burnem sell to break even?
x = _ thumb drives
Using data from 2010 and projected to 2020, the population of the United Kingdom (y, in millions) can be approximated by the equation 10.0y − 4.55x = 581
What is the projected population in 2022? y= _
In what year is the population predicted to be 67.2 million? _
Disposable income, the amount left after taxes have been paid, is one measure of the health of the economy. Using U.S. Energy Information Administration data for selected years from 2015 and projected to 2040, the U.S. real disposable income per capita (in dollars) can be approximated by the equation I = 707.6t + 39,090 where t is the number of years after 2015.
What t-value corresponds to 2025? t= _
Find the predicted U.S. per capita real disposable income (to the nearest $10) in 2025. $_____________
In what year is the U.S. per capita real disposable income expected to exceed $55,000? _
