Respuesta :

Explanation

From the given question we can see that the price of the computer was $2000 yesterday. For today the price of the computer would be 5% less that yesterday.

[tex]\begin{gathered} Today^{\prime}sPrice=2000-\frac{5}{100}(2000) \\ =2000-100=1900 \end{gathered}[/tex]

For the day after the price becomes 5% less of Today's price

[tex]\begin{gathered} 1\text{ }Day\text{ after price=}1900-\frac{5}{100}(1900) \\ =1900-95 \\ =1805 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Two days after price becomes 5% less of one day after price

[tex]\begin{gathered} 2\text{ days after price =1805-}\frac{5}{100}(1805) \\ =1805-90.25=1714.75 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Answer:$1714.75
