Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the value decrease per month, we need to divide the decrease in value by the number of months.

The decrease in value is $2,500, and the number of months is 6.

Value decrease per month = decrease in value / number of months

Value decrease per month = $2,500 / 6

Value decrease per month ≈ $416.67

Therefore, the value decreases by approximately $416.67 per month.

To find the value decrease per month, we need to divide the total value decrease by the number of months.

Given that the car's value decreases by $2,500 in the first 6 months, we can write this as a division problem:

Total value decrease = $2,500
Number of months = 6

To find the value decrease per month, we divide the total value decrease by the number of months:

Value decrease per month = Total value decrease / Number of months

Value decrease per month = $2,500 / 6

Using a calculator, we divide $2,500 by 6:

Value decrease per month ≈ $416.67

Therefore, the car's value decreases by approximately $416.67 per month.
