Algebra.Com's Answer #753131 by Theo(13342)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! if the cost of the repair was at least 80% of the blue book value, they would have given her the blue book value of the car rather than repair it.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since they repaired it, you can conclude that the cost of the repair was not greater than or equal to 80% of the blue book value.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since the cost of the repair was $7100, you can conclude that the blue book value of the car must have been greater than 7100 / .8 = 8875.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the blue book value of michelle's car > 8875 should be your solution if i understand this problem correctly.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if the blue book value of michelle's car is > 8875, then 80% of that would be > 7100.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
