[size=150]Here is one way to think about how much Diego has left after spending [math]\frac{1}{4}[/math] of $100. Explain each step.[/size][br][br][size=100]Step 1: [/size][math]100-\frac{1}{4}\cdot100[/math]
Step 2: [math]100\left(1-\frac{1}{4}\right)[/math]
Step 3: [math]100\cdot\frac{3}{\text{4}}[/math]
Step 4: [math]\frac{3}{4}\cdot100[/math]
A person makes $1,800 per month, but [math]\frac{1}{3}[/math] of that amount goes to her rent. What two numbers can you multiply to find out how much she has after paying her rent?[br]
Write an expression that only uses multiplication and that is equivalent to [math]x[/math] reduced by [math]\frac{1}{8}[/math] of [math]x[/math].[br]
[size=150]Every year after a new car is purchased, it loses [math]\frac{1}{3}[/math] of its value. Let’s say that a new car costs $18,000.[br][/size][br][size=100]A buyer worries that the car will be worth nothing in three years. Do you agree? Explain your reasoning.[/size]
Write an expression to show how to find the value of the car for each year listed in the table.
Write an equation relating the value of the car in dollars, [math]v[/math], to the number of years, [math]t[/math].[br]
Use your equation to find [math]v[/math] when [math]t[/math] is 0. What does this value of [math]v[/math] mean in this situation?[br]
A different car loses value at a different rate. The value of this different car in dollars, [math]d[/math], after [math]t[/math] years can be represented by the equation [math]d=10,000\cdot\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^t[/math]. Explain what the numbers 10,000 and [math]\frac{4}{5}[/math] mean in this situation.[br]
Start with an equilateral triangle with area 1 square unit, divide it into 4 congruent pieces as in the figure, and remove the middle one.

[size=150]A new bicycle sells for $300. It is on sale for [math]\frac{1}{4}[/math] off the regular price. [/size][br]Select [b]all[/b] the expressions that represent the sale price of the bicycle in dollars.
A computer costs $800. It loses 1/4 of its value every year after it is purchased. Complete the table to show the value of the computer at the listed times.
Write an equation representing the value, [math]v[/math], of the computer, [math]t[/math] years after it is purchased.[br]
Use your equation to find [math]v[/math] when [math]t[/math] is 5. What does this value of [math]v[/math] mean?[br]
[size=150]A piece of paper is folded into thirds multiple times. The area, [math]A[/math], of the piece of paper in square inches, after [math]n[/math] folds, is [math]A=90\cdot\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^n[/math].[/size][br][br][size=100]What is the value of [math]A[/math] when [math]n=0[/math]?
