An underground mine elevator descends 12% of the total depth every minute. The total depth of the elevator is 75 meters below the ground. How many meters below the ground is the elevator after 2 minutes? A: -18 meters B: -9 meters C: -4.5 meters D: -22.5 meters

Verified Answer :

75/100 = 0.75

--------------------

12 x 0.75 = 9

* The mine elevator travels a
distance of 9 metres per minute.

---------------------

After 2 minutes, the mine elevator
would've travelled 18 metres,
therefore your answer is:

A: -18 metres
