The pharmacy automated medication dispensing unit depreciated (decreased in value) by 25% during the first year. if the dispensing unit was purchased for $28,000 what is the dispensing unit worth today?

The dispensing unit worth today: $21,000

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assume that a year has elapsed since the dispensing unit was purchased, then we know that it has lost 25% of its initial value.

If its initial value was 28,000 then we calculate 25% of 28,000

Now we subtract 7000 from the initial amount to get the current value.

The current value is:

x > 1.3

step by step:

8.5−0.9x> 9.8−1.9x

step 1: simplify both sides of the inequality.

−0.9x+8.5> −1.9x+9.8

step 2: add 1.9x to both sides.

−0.9x+8.5+1.9x> −1.9x+9.8+1.9x

1x+8.5> 9.8

step 3: subtract 8.5 from both sides.

1x+8.5−8.5> 9.8−8.5

1x> 1.3

step 4: divide both sides by 1.

1x/1 > 1.3/1
