Given:
Current price of computer processor = $69.00
It is expected that in 8 months the processor will cost 1/3 its current price.
To find:
The cost of the computer processor after 8 months.
Solution:
According to the given question,
[tex]\text{Price after 8 months}=\dfrac{1}{3}\times \text{Current Price}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Price after 8 months}=\dfrac{1}{3}\times 69[/tex]
[tex]\text{Price after 8 months}=13[/tex]
Therefore, the cost of the computer processor after 8 months is $13.00.
Answer:
$23.99
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the cost of the processor in 8 months, first multiply the cost of the processor, $69, by the fraction of its expected cost, 1/3.
Write the whole number over 1, then multiply the numerators and mutiply the donominators.
69*1/3
=69/1 * 1/3 = 23/1 = 23
Therefore, the processor will cost $23.00
