Question

The purchase price of a new machine is 3500 000 dinars. its value will decrease by
300 000 dinars each year.write a linear model that expresses the value of the
machine (t) years after its purchased :

A) p = 300 000 -3500000t

B) p = 3500 000 +300000t

C) p = 3500 000-300000t

D) p = 300 000+3500000t

Answer 1

The answer is C. The original value of the machine is 3,500,000. We know that is decreases in value by 300,000. Our equation should be 3,500,000-300,000(t ). We know it’s subtraction since the value is decreasing.
