Answer is 19/60. The gcf of both numbers is 5. So divide both top and bottom by 5
95 divided by 5 is 19
300 divided by 5 is 60
19/60 can't be divided any further so that is the answer

Write a function for the situation discribed and find the value after 5 yrs. A $12,500 car depreciates 9% each year. Please help

$\bf \qquad \textit{Amount for Exponential Decay}\\\\
A=P(1 - r)^t\qquad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\
P=\textit{initial amount}\to &12500\\
r=rate\to 9\%\to \frac{9}{100}\to &0.09\\
t=\textit{elapsed time}\\
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
A=12500(1-0.09)^t\implies A=12500(0.91)^t
\\\\\\
\textit{after 5 years t = 5}\qquad A=12500(0.91)^5$

and surely you know how much that is.
