Right now the dirt bike is worth $500. Next year it will be worth 15% less, or 85% of the current value (because currently it's at 100%, so you would subtract the 15%). To find 85% of the dirt bike's value, you would take $500 and multiply by 85% (or 0.85). This would give you $425 after 1 year. You'd take $425 and multiply that by 85% for the next year, and continue until you reached 5 years of the value decreasing. Does this help?
Point A, point C, point B, and point E
Let change 7/8 and 1/5 into decimal point so 0.88 and 0.2
0.88-0.2 =0.68
then we want 5 equal length so we divided
0.68 / 5 =0.14
