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

In this case, the total value decrease is $4,000 and the number of months is 12.

Value decrease per month = $4,000 / 12

Value decrease per month = $333.33

Therefore, the value of the car decreases by $333.33 per month.

The correct answer is d) $333.33.

Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

To find the value decrease per month, we can use the division of rational numbers. The value decrease per month can be calculated by dividing the total decrease by the number of months.

Total decrease = $4,000
Number of months = 12

To find the value decrease per month:
Value decrease per month = Total decrease / Number of months

Value decrease per month = $4,000 / 12

Now, let's divide:
Value decrease per month = $333.33

Therefore, the value decrease per month is approximately $333.33. The answer is option d.

To solve this problem using division of rational numbers, we need to find the value decrease per month by dividing the total decrease in value by the number of months.

In this case, the car's value decreases by $4,000 and the time period is 12 months.

To find the value decrease per month, we can divide the total decrease ($4,000) by the number of months (12):

Value decrease per month = $4,000 ÷ 12

Performing the division, we get:

Value decrease per month ≈ $333.33

Therefore, the answer is option d, $333.33.
