Honestly, I find Mrs. Garcia's method easier to perform mentally. It hinges on how familiar you are with your multiples of 5. (5*15 = 75 is a multiplication I often use)

Melissa's approach involves calculating 5*20 = 100 and 5*9 = 45, then combines the 3-digit result 100 with the 2-digit result 45, yielding 145. Adding 45 to 00 is simple and doesn’t require carrying digits, thus the arithmetic is fairly straightforward.

Mrs. Garcia's technique involves computing 5*14 = 70 and 5*15 = 75, then summing these two-digit results. Many people may not readily recall that 5*15=75, which complicates forming that product. The addition of 70 and 75 requires a carrying operation, making the math somewhat more complex. The resulting total is 145.

(The rationale behind my preference for Mrs. Garcia's method is that I can achieve the final sum by simply doubling 7 tens, followed by adding 5. The only 3-digit number to remember mentally is the ultimate total.)

_____Subtraction introduces a slight complication, yet reshaping it as $5(30 -1) = $150 - 5 = $145 is possible.
Or, you may reframe it as $5(28 +1) = $140 +5 = $145.
Dividing an even number by 2 to find the product of 5 is straightforward when you append a zero.
  5*14 = 10*7 = 70
  5*28 = 10*14 = 140.

Answer:

The hourly rate for lectures is $7.33

Step-by-step explanation:

* Let's break down how to tackle the problem.

- For the level 3 course, examination hours are priced at double that of workshop hours.

- Workshop hours cost twice the rate of lecture hours.

- The total includes examination, workshop, and lecture hours.

- Examination lasts 3 hours, workshops 24 hours, and lectures 12 hours.

* Let’s denote the cost of lecture hours as $x per hour.

∴ The lectures cost $x per hour.

∵ Workshop charge is twice that of lectures

∴ Workshop hours cost 2(x) = 2x per hour.

∵ Examination fees are double that of workshop hours

∵ The workshop cost is 2x

∴ Examination fees are 2(2x) = 4x per hour.

- Combining costs for level 3 gives us the total of lecture, workshop, and examination hours.

∵ 12 hours for lectures

∵ 24 hours for workshops

∵ 3 hours for examinations

∵ Thus the total cost for level 3 = 12(x) + 24(2x) + 3(4x).

∴ Total cost for level 3 = 12x + 48x + 12x.

∵ Therefore, total cost = $528.

∴ 12x + 48x + 12x = 528.

∴ 72x = 528; hence we divide both sides by 72.

∴ x = 7.33.

∵ x represents the cost of lecture hours per hour.

∴ Therefore, the hourly price for lectures is $7.33.

11,000 multiplied by 16% equals $1,750, which when multiplied by 4 gives a total of $7,040.

Therefore, after 4 years, the car's value is $11,000 - 7,040 = $3,960.
