a car enthusiast learns that a particular car , which cost $34000 new, loses 15% of its value every year. how much will the car be worth in 5 years?
Use the formula: A = P(1 - r)t
where A = final amount; P = beginning amount = 34000; r = rate = 0.15; t = time = 5:
A = 34000(1 - 0.15)5
Now, it's calculator time!
