Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A car's value depreciates by 10% each year. If its current value is $9000, what will be its value after one year?
Correct Answer: 8100
  • Step 1: Identify the current value of the car, which is $9000.
  • Step 2: Calculate 10% of the current value. To do this, multiply 9000 by 0.1 (which is the decimal form of 10%).
  • Step 3: Perform the multiplication: 0.1 * 9000 = 900. This is the amount the car will depreciate.
  • Step 4: Subtract the depreciation amount from the current value. So, $9000 - $900 = $8100.
  • Step 5: The value of the car after one year will be $8100.
