Question

A new car is purchased for 22300 dollars. The value of the car depreciates at 10.25% per year. What will the value of the car be, to the nearest cent, after 6 years?

Answer 1

Answer:

$11654 approx

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Principal amount =  22300 dollars

Rate= 10.25%

time= 6 years

The expression for the decrease is given as

A=P(1-r)^t-----------Note the negative sign is because of the decrease

substitute

A= 22300(1-0.1025)^6

A=22300(0.8975)^6

A=22300*0.5226

A=$11653.98

Hence the new value is $11654 approx
