Answer provided by our tutors

a car costs $7820


after 1 year the cost of the car will be: 7820*0.70


after 2 years the cost of the car will be: 7820*0.70*0.70 = 7820*(0.70^2)


after 3 years the cost of the car will be: 7820*0.70*0.70*0.70 = 7820*(0.70^3)


after 5 years the cost of the car will be: 7820*(0.70^5) = $1,314.31
