Every year the value of the toy decreases by $65.

The value of the toy after t years is $65.

The initial value of the toy is $65.

Answer 1

Answer: The initial value of the toy is $65.

Explanation: In the given equation s(t) helps us calculate the value of the toy after it was purchased, when we buy a toy, usually it can lose or gain value over time, in this case, the value of the toy changes by a rate of 0.87. Also in the given equation, "t" represents the number of years after the toy was purchased, so, 65 represents the initial value of the toy (when it was purchased).
