We have been given that Tommy purchased a riding lawnmower with an original value of $2,500. The value of the riding lawnmower decreases by $300 per year. We are asked to find the value of lawnmower after 5 years.
Since the value of the riding lawnmower decreases by $300 per year, so value of lawnmower decrease in 5 years would be 5 times $300.
The final value of lawnmower would be initial value minus value decreased in 5 years.
Therefore, the value of lawnmower after years would be $1000.
