Zoey purchased a new car in 1992 for \$28,000$28,000. The value of the car has been depreciating exponentially at a constant rat
e. If the value of the car was \$9,600$9,600 in the year 1996, then what would be the predicted value of the car in the year 1998, to the nearest dollar?
400$ Explanation: In 1992, the price is 28000$ and 9600$ in 1996 so in 4 years the value the car lost is 18400$ Dividing 18400 by 4 years we get 4600 depreciation value per year. Between 1996 and 1998 there is 2 years So in 1998 the value of the car will be: 9600 (value in 1996) - 2x4600 = 400$
