A certain tablet computer depreciates (loses its value) at a rate of 12 the original value every 2 years. If you bought a tablet 6 years ago and it’s now worth $75, how much did it cost when you bought it?

Respuesta :

do 12 x 3 then add to 75...

it was $111 dollars.

Answer: $253.125

Step-by-step explanation:

For the in-book problem which wants you to turn the problem into an exponential or linear equation I got:

Exponential

y=75(1+.5)^3

(1.5)^3 = 3.375

y=75(3.375)

y=$253.125
