Problema Solution
The value of a car is decreasing by 8% per year. If the car is worth 11,236 today what's the worth in two years
Answer provided by our tutors
the car is worth x = $11,236 today
after the first year the new value is: x - 0.08x = 0.92x
after the second year the value is: 0.92x - 0.08*0.92x = ((0.92)^2)*x
plug x = 11,236 in the ((0.92)^2)*x and we get
((0.92)^2)*11236 = $9,510.1504
