Answer:

£1638.40

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Given data

A car costs £5000 when new

Each year the value decreases by 20%.

Step two:

let us compute the worth in the next 5 years

year 1

worth= 5000- 0.2*5000

worth= 5000-1000

worth=  £4000

year 2

worth= 4000- 0.2*4000

worth= 4000-800

worth=  £3200

year 3

worth= 3200- 0.2*3200

worth= 3200-640

worth=  £2560

year 4

worth= 2560- 0.2*2560

worth= 2560-512

worth=  £2048

year 5

worth= 2048- 0.2*2048

worth= 2048-409.6

worth=  £1638.40

The person is wrong because after 5 years the car is worth  £1638.40

How to solve this problem
rodikova [14]
\bf \textit{circumference of a circle}\\\\
C=2\pi r\quad 
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
-----\\
r=10
\end{cases}\implies C=2\pi 10\implies \boxed{C=20\pi }\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\

\bf \textit{let's converte 1km to inches}
\\\\\\
km\cdot \cfrac{1000m}{km}\cdot \cfrac{100cm}{m}\cdot \cfrac{in}{2.54cm}\implies \cfrac{1000\cdot 100\cdot in}{2.54}\approx 39370.079\ in\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{how many times does }20\pi \textit{ go into }39370.079?\implies \boxed{\cfrac{39370.079}{20\pi }}

What is the rate of 70 miles in 2 hours in unit rate
tamaranim1 [39]
You want one of the values in the ratio to be one for a unit rate. First, write out the ratio. It is 70 miles/2 hours. It's better not to include decimal numbers when you write a ratio when you can, so we're going to make the hours the unit rate. To make 2 -> 1 hour, divide both sides of the ratio by 2. 70/2 = 35. 
The unit rate is 35 mi./hr.
Hope that helped you.
