Question

Patty buys a new car and gets it appraised every few years. After owning the car for 3 years, its value is $15,000. After owning the car for 5 years, its value is $9,000.

If Patty gets her car appraised after owning it for 6 years, what will the car's value be in this indirect variation situation?

A. $7,500
B. $2,500
C. $6,000
D. $4,000

Answer 1

c) 6000

Explanation:

the car's value would be $6000 because in two years the car decrased by $6000. Divide that by 2, and get $3000. That's how much it decreases in one year. $9000-$3000=$6000

btw I can't help it the car's original value was $24,000
