The original value of a car is $18,000, and it depreciates (loses value) by 15% each year. What is the value of the car after three years?

Respuesta :

A reduction of 15% per year means 100-15=85% reducing factor.
1st year: 0.85×18000=$15300.
2nd year: 0.85×15300=$13005.
3rd year: 0.85×13005=$11054.25.
So after 3 years the value of the car is $11054.25 or $11054 to the nearest dollar.
