George just bought a new scooter for $8000. he plans on keeping it until it is worth a fourth of it's original price.
he believes that every year the scooter loses an eighth of its value. he can represent the value of the scooter by the equation v = 8000(7/8)t, where v is the value of the scooter and t is the number of years that have passed.
as he was leaving the dealership he was told that the scooter really loses a sixth of it's value every year. what should george change in the equation v = 8000(7/8)t to represent this new situation?
a) replace the 7/8 with a 6.
b) replace the 8000 with 5/6.
c) switch the v and t
d) replace the 7/8 with a 5/6.
