Answers: After 7 years the car is worth $10,196(,46)
Explanation: Year 1: $24,950•0,88=21,956 Year 2: $21,956•0,88=19,321(,28) Year 3: $19,321(,28) •0,88=17,002(,73) Year 4: $17,002(,73) •0,88=14,962(,40) Year 5: $14,962(,40) •0,88=13,166(,91) Year 6: $13,166(,91) •0,88=11,586(,88) Year 7: $11,586(,88) •0,88=10,196(,46)
Here's the equation for one year: 0.03(8000) + 8000 For four years: 4(0.03(8000)) + 8000 0.12(8000) + 8000 To make it simpler/smaller: 1.12(8000) = 8960 You can make 960 more dollars, and you now have $8960
