Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A car's value depreciates by 10% each year. If its current value is $18,000, what will be its value after one year?
Correct Answer: 16200
  • Step 1: Identify the current value of the car, which is $18,000.
  • Step 2: Calculate 10% of the current value. To do this, multiply $18,000 by 0.1 (which is 10%).
  • Step 3: Perform the multiplication: 0.1 * 18000 = $1,800. This is the amount the car will depreciate.
  • Step 4: Subtract the depreciation amount from the current value. So, $18,000 - $1,800 = $16,200.
  • Step 5: The value of the car after one year will be $16,200.
  • Depreciation – Understanding how the value of an asset decreases over time, specifically through a percentage reduction.
