Losing 30% of its value is the same as saying it is now worth 70% of its original value. To find 70% of 50,000 you can do 50,000 x 0.7. The answer will be the new value of the car after one year. After two years you are essentially finding 70% of the new value which is 70% of the original. More simply, it is 50,000 x 0.7 x 0.7. An equation for this (and the answer to 1b) is 50,000 x 0.7^t where t is the number of years.

1a (i) is $10500 (50,000 x 0.7^1)
(ii) is $2521.05 (50,000 x 0.7^5)
(iii) is $1412.38 (50,000 x 0.7^10)
1b 50,000x0.7^t

He pays in interest of $111.0375. Interest is calculated in the two ways, by compounding or by simple interest.

<h3>How to calculate simple interest amount?</h3>

If the initial amount (also called as principal amount) is P, and the interest rate is R % annually, and it is left for T years for that simple interest, then the interest amount earned is given by:

$I = \dfrac{P \times R \times T}{100}$
