3. A car's value depreciates by 10% each year. If its
original value was $25,000, what will be its value

 P = 25000
R = 10%
T=4
DA = P(1-R/100)T

=
25000X0.6561
16402.5
4. If 40% of a number is 120, what is the number?

100
7. A population of 5000 increases by 8% each year.
What will be the population after 5 years?
P = 5000
R=8%
 T =5years
IP = P(1+R/100)T
=5000(1+8/100)5
=5000(1+0.08)5
=5000(1.08)5
=5000X1.085
1.08X1.08X1.08X1.08X1.08

8. If 20% of a class of 25 students are girls, how many

boys are in the class?
9. There are 25 girls in a class which is 20 % calculate
the number of boys in that class?
Number of girls = 25
Girls% = 20%
Let total students be x
Now,
Number of girls = 20% of x
25 = 20/100 *x
25*100 = 20x
2500/20 = x
125 = x
Then
Number of boys = total -girls
=125-25
=100
