If a car's value depreciates by 15% and its original value was $20,000, what is its new value?
Steps
Concepts
Step 1: Identify the original value of the car, which is $20,000.
Step 2: Calculate 15% of the original value. To do this, multiply $20,000 by 0.15.
Step 3: Perform the multiplication: $20,000 * 0.15 = $3,000. This is the amount the car depreciates.
Step 4: Subtract the depreciation amount from the original value. So, $20,000 - $3,000.
Step 5: Perform the subtraction: $20,000 - $3,000 = $17,000. This is the new value of the car.
Percentage Calculation
– Understanding how to calculate a percentage of a value and apply it to find depreciation.
